get_GM_network {martini} | R Documentation

## Get gene membership network.

### Description

Creates a network of SNPs where each SNP is connected as in the GS network and, in addition, to all the other SNPs pertaining to the same gene. Corresponds to the gene membership (GM) network described by Azencott et al.

### Usage

    get_GM_network(gwas, organism = 9606, snpMapping = snp2gene(gwas, organism),
      col_genes = c("snp", "gene"))

### Arguments

`gwas` | A SnpMatrix object with the GWAS information.
`organism` | Tax ID of the studied organism. Required if snpMapping is not provided.
`snpMapping` | A data.frame informing how SNPs map to genes. It contains minimum two columns: SNP id and a gene it maps to. Each row corresponds to one gene-SNP mapping. Unless column names are specified using `col_genes`, involved columns must be named `'snp'` and `'gene'`.
`col_genes` | Optional, length-2 character vector with the names of the two columns involving the SNP-gene mapping. The first element is the column of the SNP, and the second is the column of the gene.

### Value

An igraph network of the GM network of the SNPs.
