`pkoi_net` is a precomputed, undirected, heterogeneous knowledge graph that integrates proteomic, genomic, and functional annotations for network-aware omics analyses using the `pkoi` package.

Usage

data(pkoi_net)

Format

An `igraph` object with:

939,059 vertices

Each vertex represents a biological entity and includes the following attributes: name, labels, identifier, and precomputed network statistics: degree, coreness, betweenness, closeness, constraint, eccentricity, eigen_centrality, transitivity.

10,622,200 edges

Each edge encodes a biological relationship with attribute: edge_type – a character string describing the relationship type.

Node types included in the graph:

Anatomy

Anatomical structures and systems

BiologicalProcess

Functional biological processes such as signaling pathways

CellType

Distinct cell types

CellularComponent

Subcellular structures and organelles

ClinicalLab

Clinical measurements and diagnostics

Complex

Molecular and protein complexes

Compound

Endogenous human metabolites

Disease

Diseases and pathological conditions

EC

Enzyme Commission categories

Gene

Genetic elements including genes and markers

MiRNA

MicroRNAs and their regulatory roles

MolecularFunction

Molecular-level activities of gene products

Pathway

Molecular interaction and reaction sequences

Protein

Protein molecules

ProteinDomain

Structural or functional domains within proteins

ProteinFamily

Groups of evolutionarily related proteins

PwGroup

Aggregates of related pathways

Reaction

Biochemical reactions

Details

The object is an [`igraph`][igraph::igraph] where vertices represent biological entities (e.g., proteins, genes, pathways), and edges encode experimentally supported or database-derived relationships (e.g., *UPREGULATES*, *PARTOF*, *REACTION*).
