get_path_names {hipathia} | R Documentation

## Tranlates path IDs to path names

### Description

Translates the subpathway IDs to readable and comprensible names.

For effector subpathways, the names of the subpathways are encoded as "pathway: effector_protein", where "pathway" is the pathway to which the subpathway belongs and "effector_protein" is the name of the last node in the subpathway.

For decomposed subpathways, the names of the subpathways are encoded as "pathway: receptor_protein - effector_protein", where "pathway" is the pathway to which the subpathway belongs, "receptor_protein" is the name of the initial node of the subpathway and "effector_protein" is the name of the last node in the subpathway.

### Usage

    get_path_names(metaginfo, names, maxchar = NULL)

### Arguments

`metaginfo` | Pathways object
`names` | Character vector with the subpathway IDs to be translated
`maxchar` | Integer, describes the number of maximum characters to be shown. By default no filter is applied.

### Value

A character vector including the readable names of the subpathways IDs, in the same order as provided.

### Examples

    data(path_vals)
    pathways <- load_pathways(species = "hsa", pathways_list = c("hsa03320",
    "hsa04012"))
    translated_names <- get_path_names(pathways, rownames(path_vals))
