在 R 中使用 igraph 创建子图

Question

我需要使用 igraph 从图 (g) 中获取种子节点（节点的输入列表；file.txt）及其第一个交互器（邻居）的子图。不幸的是，我最终在子图中只有一个节点，而不是所有其余的节点和连接它们的边（顶点）。

g<-read.graph("DATABASE.ncol",format="ncol",directed=FALSE) #load the data
g2<-simplify(g, remove.multiple=TRUE, remove.loops=TRUE) # Remove the self-loops in the data
DAT1 <- readLines("file.txt")   #It provides a character vector right away
list_nodes_1 = neighbors(g2, DAT1) #list of nodes to be fetched in subnetwork
list_nodes_1 # 16
g3 <- induced.subgraph(graph=g2,vids=DAT1) #subnetwork construction
g3 # GRAPH UN-- 1 0 --; indicating only one node
plot (g3)

对于获取整个子网（包括节点和顶点）有什么建议吗？或者是否有任何其他功能可用于创建子图？

DATABASE.n​​col：

MAP2K4  FLNC
MYPN    ACTN2
ACVR1   FNTA
GATA2   PML
RPA2    STAT3
ARF1    GGA3
ARF3    ARFIP2
ARF3    ARFIP1
XRN1    ALDOA
APP     APPBP2
APLP1   DAB1
CITED2  TFAP2A
EP300   TFAP2A
APOB    MTTP
ARRB2   RALGDS
CSF1R   GRB2
PRRC2A  GRB2
LSM1    NARS
SLC4A1  SLC4A1AP
BCL3    BARD1

这是一个简单的文本文件，每行一个边。一条边由两个用制表符分隔的符号顶点名称定义：

GRB2

FLNC
BCL3

Answer 1

我不确定是否完全理解您的问题，所以我创建了一个（希望如此）不言自明的示例：

# for example reproducibility
set.seed(123)

# create a fake undirected graph
D <- read.table(
sep=',',
header=T,
text=
'from,to
A,B
A,C
D,E
F,G
H,I')

g1 <- graph.data.frame(D,directed=F)
plot(g1)

# we want a sub-network containing the floowing nodes:
subv <- c('A','B','H')

# first method: 
# create a sub-network composed by ONLY the nodes in subv and the edges 
# between them
g2 <- induced.subgraph(graph=g1,vids=subv)
plot(g2)

# second method: 
# create a sub-network composed by the nodes in subv and, if some of them is
# connected to other nodes (even if not in subv), take also them 
# (and of course include all the edges among this bunch of nodes). 
sg1 <- decompose.graph(g1,mode="weak")
neighverts <- unique(unlist(sapply(sg1,FUN=function(s){if(any(V(s)$name %in% subv)) V(s)$name else NULL})))
g3 <- induced.subgraph(graph=g1,vids=neighverts)
plot(g3)

有一个内置的 igraph 功能。试试 make_ego_graph()：

library(igraph)
graph <- make_ring(7)
V(graph)$name <- c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G")

# Get the list of induced subgraphs
subgraph <- make_ego_graph(graph, order=1, c("A", "D", "F"))
