The local graph is a subgraph of the full LRG encompassing only the interactions which are active in the neighbourhood of one specific state [1] .
The highlight local graph tool determines these active interactions and highlights
them in the graph view.
Usage
The Highlight local graph entry on the Graph menu opens the local
graph computation dialog. This dialog provides an interface divided into
three main sections:
- The state definition table, where the user can specify the value of each component defining a (set of) state(s).
- The perturbation selection, where the user can select (and define new) perturbations.
- The execution options, where the user can specify if for every change in the table the local graph should be automatically updated, and restore the original graph colors if needed.
Example of local graph highlight
Left: The highlight local graph dialog box, where the (set of) state(s) are specified. Right: The logical regulatory graph, where the active interactions are highlighted.
After running this tool, the logical regulatory graph interactions will change colour depending on their activation type. Their colour code representation will be: green, for interactions having an activatory effect; red, for interactions with an inhibitory effect; and grey, for interactions without an effect.
Availability
Highlight local graph was implemented in GINsim 3.0.
