We could turn BioPAX/SBPAX into R graphs similar to the way rsbml does it. I wonder if there already are packages for using R graphs representing biological connections to model differential expression data?

Such data could be made available as SBPAX. BioPAX/SBPAX are excellent for merging data from multiple sources. Can you recommend any significant providers of such public data? Thanks!
