Use gene cache to detect if interaction node is gene #274

Closed eweitz closed 3 years ago

eweitz commented 3 years ago

This uses the new gene cache (#272) to detect if an interaction node represents a gene. It fixes a bug in the related genes kit, e.g. when searching e.g. PIK3R1 as shown below. The bug has INPP5F reported as interacting with PIK3R1 -- but the two genes don't actually interact, thus the tooltip unexpectedly shows no pathways.

Bug_in_PIK3R1_related_genes_ideogram_2021-06-04

Fix:

PIK3R1_related_genes_ideogram_2021-06-04

The problem occurred when WikiPathways returned nodes for non-genes, and Ideogram would query MyGene.info using the non-gene labels as gene symbols, e.g. https://mygene.info/v3/query?q=symbol:PRKCA%20OR%20symbol:GRB2%20OR%20symbol:PIK3CA%20OR%20symbol:AKT1%20OR%20symbol:VAV1%20OR%20symbol:PIP3%20OR%20symbol:PTPN11%20OR%20symbol:PIK3CD%20OR%20symbol:CRK%20OR%20symbol:SRC%20OR%20symbol:CD28%20OR%20symbol:CBL%20OR%20symbol:SHB%20OR%20symbol:IL5RA%20OR%20symbol:GNB1%20OR%20symbol:hsa-mir-15b%20OR%20symbol:IL1B%20OR%20symbol:LAT%20OR%20symbol:GAB1%20OR%20symbol:IRS2%20OR%20symbol:SH2B1%20OR%20symbol:LCK%20OR%20symbol:PI(3,4,5)P3%20OR%20symbol:AKT3%20OR%20symbol:PIK3CB%20OR%20symbol:AP2A1%20OR%20symbol:PIP2%20OR%20symbol:TRB%20OR%20symbol:AKT2%20OR%20symbol:PDK1%20OR%20symbol:Invasion%20OR%20symbol:Osteoblast%20OR%20symbol:PIK3C2B%20OR%20symbol:PIK3%20OR%20symbol:PRKCZ&species=9606&fields=symbol,genomic_pos,name&size=20.

In that case, some non-gene "symbols" would convert to gene symbols in MyGene.info, and be spuriously displayed as interacting genes in the related genes ideogram.

By using the complete list of known genes from the gene cache, Ideogram can not robustly detect if a WikiPathways interaction node represents a gene.
