Documentation

integrated Python toolkit for pathway based analysis

Build Status

Installation

General requirement

Python version: >= 3.5

Windows

Unix / Linux

  • gcc or clang compiler

Sources

  • install via pypi
pip install pypathway
  • install from the source
git clone https://github.com/iseekwonderful/PyPathway.git
cd PyPathway
python setup.py install

Features

  • Public databases APIs: STRING, BioGRID, KEGG, Reactome and WikiPathway
  • Functional set based and network based enrichment analysis algorithms implemented: ORA, GSEA and SPIA
  • Performance optimize for denovo enrichment algorithm MAGI and Hotnet2.
  • Network propagation random walk, RWR and heat kernel
  • Interactive visualization for pathway, graph and analysis result.
  • Web page exportation for results.

Highlights

  • Integrated with pandas, networkx and numpy. Most of the methods accept both text file and data structure from these packages
  • Dynamic visualization for IPython notebook.
  • Most classes implement __repr__ method for interactive environment.

Network process

Intuitive APIs for querying and retrieval interaction network from public database. The return object are stored in networkx.Graph object.

Support databases

  • KEGG
  • Reactome
  • WikiPathway
  • STRING
  • BioGRID

Search

from pypathway import PublicDatabase
kg = PublicDatabase.search_kegg('CD4')
wp = PublicDatabase.search_wp('CD4')
rt = PublicDatabase.search_reactome('CD4')

Load

pathway = r[0].load()

Plot

pathway.draw()

IPython notebook examples

Enrichment Analysis

Support methods

  • ORA
  • GSEA
  • Network enrichment (SPIA and Enrichment)
  • denovo enrichment (MAGI and Hotnet2)

Implementation / Interface

  • Staticmethod run() for the starting of the analysis
r = SPIA.run(all=c.background, de=c.deg, organism='hsa')
  • table, plot() and graph() method for the presentation of the analysis
res.table

res.plot()

res.graph()

IPython examples

Modeling

  • the Python Interface and optimize for MAGI
  • several c extension for `Hotnet permutation performance

Propagation

Implemented algorithms

  • Random walk
random_walk(G, h)
  • Random walk with restart
random_walk_with_restart(G, h, rp=0.7, n=-1)
  • Heat kernel
diffusion_kernel(G, h, rp=0.8, n=100)

Utility and Performance

  • The Id converter
  • GMT file manager
  • network and expression data sets.
  • numpy implementation of SPIA
  • node swap c extension for Hotnet2
  • multi-threading for MAGI

Interactive Visualization

The interactive visualization for IPython notebook

Feature

  • __repr__ Implemented for most classes
  • dynamic visualization for networkx.Graph instance
  • visualizer for pathway object
  • visualizer for Gene ontology DAG.
