STRING compares the interaction pattern of your input proteins with the proteome-wide background interaction distribution to determine whether the protein set contains more interactions than expected.

Usage

rba_string_enrichment_ppi(
  ids,
  species = NULL,
  required_score = NULL,
  background = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

ids

Your protein ID(s). It is strongly recommended to supply STRING IDs. See rba_string_map_ids for more information.

species

Numeric: NCBI Taxonomy identifier; Human Taxonomy ID is 9606. (Recommended, but required if your input contains more than 10 unique IDs.)

required_score

Numeric (between 0 and 1000): Minimum interaction score used when calculating PPI enrichment. If omitted, STRING applies a network-dependent threshold. Common confidence thresholds are 150 (low), 400 (medium), 700 (high), and 900 (highest).

background

Character vector: A set of STRING protein IDs to be used as the background proteome. Only STRING IDs are acceptable. See rba_string_map_ids to map your IDs.

...

rbioapi option(s). See rba_options's arguments manual for more information on available options.

Value

A list with protein-protein interaction enrichment results.
