Add miRNA-gene networks #6

Open DavisWeaver opened 1 year ago

DavisWeaver commented 1 year ago

This feature should allow user to query miRNA-gene and miRNA-gene-gene networks using the methods already implemented in the package.

The functions written should:

  1. query online miRNA-target repositories
  2. Structure resulting data as an igraph object where miRNA and genes are both nodes and the putative interactions between them are edges
  3. Merge with existing PPI graphs to allow integrative analyses
  4. return said igraph object to be used in downstream analyses
