Hi All,

I would like to compare miRNA and mRNA sequencing results using Pathview. By default, Pathview uses a KEGG xml file downloaded using the function pathview(). My first problem is how to feed Pathview with a custom pathway (for example a reactome pathway converted into graphNEL object)?

I am using mirIntegrator package, to integrate miRNA interactions into KEGG pathways. mirIntegrator package contains a function keggPathwayGraphs(), which downloads KEGG pathways. Then, these pathways are augmented by integrating miRNA interactions into gene networks. The resulting pathways (augmented pathways) are graphNEL objects, looking as follows:

    > augmented_pathways_mmu_04727
    $path:mmu04727
    A graphNEL graph with directed edges
    Number of Nodes = 218
    Number of Edges = 748

I could not figure out how to input a graphNEL object made of reactome pathway. This is what I was trying:

        > library(graphite)
        > MouseReactome <- pathways("mmusculus", "reactome")
        > names(MouseReactome)[1:10]
        > trans_path <- MouseReactome[grep("transmission",names(MouseReactome))]

        # creating a GRAPHnel object of the pathway; these gives an error with mirIntegrator
        > trans_path_g <- pathwayGraph(trans_path)
        > trans_path_g
        A graphNEL graph with directed edges
        Number of Nodes = 175
        Number of Edges = 2068
        > augmented_pathway <- integrate_mir(trans_path_g, mirTarBase)
        Error in as.list.default(X) :
          no method for coercing this S4 class to a vector

On the other hand, with a graphNEL object generated using keggPathwayGraphs() everything seems to be working fine:

    > kegg_pathways_mmu_04727
    $path:mmu04727
    A graphNEL graph with directed edges
    Number of Nodes = 88
    Number of Edges = 542
    > augmented_pathways_mmu_04727 <- integrate_mir(kegg_pathways_mmu_04727, mirTarBase)
    > augmented_pathways_mmu_04727
    $path:mmu04727
    A graphNEL graph with directed edges
    Number of Nodes = 218
    Number of Edges = 748

The second problem is how to use such a custom (augmented) pathway (graphNEL) for visualization using Pathview. What I would like to achieve is a Pathview-rendered visualisation (KEGG or Graphviz) including color-coded fold changes of both, mRNAs (genes) and miRNAs.

Any tips on how this can be achieved I will very, very much appreciate. I know there was a similar question asked here about 2 years ago, but I did not find the answer helpful.

Thanks in advance for any tips on that.
