Introduction
Biological systems are composed of multiple layers of dynamic interaction networks. These networks can be decomposed, for example, into: co-expression, physical, co-localization, genetic, pathway, and shared protein domains.
GeneMania provides us with an enormous collection of data sets for interaction network studies (Warde-Farley D, Donaldson S, Comes O, Zuberi K, Badrawi R, and others 2010). The data can be accessed and downloaded from different database, using a web portal. But currently, there is not a R-package to query and download these data.
An important regulatory mechanism of these network data involves microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs are involved in various cellular functions, such as differentiation, proliferation, and tumourigenesis. However, our understanding of the processes regulated by miRNAs is currently limited and the integration of miRNA data in these networks provides a comprehensive genome-scale analysis of miRNA regulatory networks.Actually, GeneMania doesn’t integrate the information of miRNAs and their interactions in the network.
SpidermiR allows the user to query, prepare, download network data (e.g. from GeneMania), and to integrate this information with miRNA data
with the possibility to analyze
these downloaded data directly in one single R package.
This techincal report gives a short overview of the essential SpidermiR methods and their application.
Installation
To install use the code below.
SpidermiRquery: Searching network
You can easily search GeneMania data using the SpidermiRquery function.
SpidermiRquery_species: Searching by species
The user can query the species supported by GeneMania, using the function SpidermiRquery_species:
The list of species is shown below:
| tabOrgd[, 2] | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Arabidopsis_thaliana |
| 2 | Caenorhabditis_elegans |
| 3 | Danio_rerio |
| 4 | Drosophila_melanogaster |
| 5 | Escherichia_coli |
| 6 | Homo_sapiens |
| 7 | Mus_musculus |
| 8 | Rattus_norvegicus |
| 9 | Saccharomyces_cerevisiae |
SpidermiRquery_networks_type: Searching by network categories
The user can query the network types supported by GeneMania for a specific specie, using the function SpidermiRquery_networks_type. The user can select a specific specie using an index obtained by the function SpidermiRquery_species (e.g. organismID=org[6,] is the input for Homo_sapiens,organismID=org[9,] is the input for Saccharomyces cerevisiae )
The list of network categories in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is shown below:
## [1] "Co-localization" "Predicted" "Co-expression"
## [4] "Physical Interactions" "Genetic Interactions" "Shared protein domains"
## [7] "Other"SpidermiRquery_spec_networks: Searching by species, and network categories
You can filter the search by species using organism ID (above reported), and the network category. The network category can be filtered using the following parameters:
- COexp Co-expression
- PHint Physical_interactions
- COloc Co-localization
- GENint Genetic_interactions
- PATH Pathway
- SHpd Shared_protein_domains
- pred predicted
The databases, which data are collected, are the output of this step. An example is shown below ( for Shared protein domains in Saccharomyces_cerevisiae data are collected in INTERPRO, and PFAM):

The user in this step can download the data, as previously queried.
SpidermiRdownload_net: Download network
The user can download the data (previously queried) with SpidermiRdownload_net.

The user can download the predicted miRNA-gene from 4 databases:DIANA, Miranda, PicTar and TargetScan using miRNAtap (Pajak M, Simpson TI 2019).
SpidermiRdownload_miRNAextra_cir:Download Extracellular Circulating microRNAs
The user can download extracellular circulating miRNAs from miRandola database
SpidermiRdownload_pharmacomir: Download Pharmaco-miR Verified Sets
The user can download Pharmaco-miR predicted Sets from a fisher test. This function will give an information about the significant interactions between the miRNAs and the drug of interest (in this case tamoxifen). p-value and FDR will be visualized. The fisher test will be calculated considering the interactions drug and gene derived by DGIdb and MATADOR database (Cotto KC, Wagner AH, Feng YY, Kiwala S, Coffman AC, Spies G, Wollam A, Spies NC, Griffith OL, Griffith M. 2018) (GUnther S, Kuhn M, Dunkel M, Campillos M, Senger C, Petsalaki E, Ahmed J, Urdiales EG, Gewiess A, Jensen LJ, Schneider R, Skoblo R, Russell RB, Bourne PE, Bork P, Preissner R. 2008).
