Hi Paul,
You can do several things - I would give paxtools a try, you can use
an
R-to-Java bridge like rJava.
Alternatively you can use the sif format used provided by pathway
commons
www.pathwaycommons.org) as it already provides an easier to handle,
reduced
graph, with some of the conversions you mentioned. Conversion is lossy
- but
maybe this is the right level of detail for your purpose, I don't
know.
Best,
ED
