R 基于Key>Value数据帧的基因子集相关性提取

library(data.table) # >= V1.15.0

df <-
  melt(data.table(cors),                    # matrix to long data.frame
       variable.name = "i",
       value.name = "cor"
  )[, let(i = as.integer(i), j = rowid(i))  # cols for i and j
  ][i < j                                   # keep distinct correlations
  ][, Complex := lkps$Complex[i]            # look up Complex for i
  ][Complex == lkps$Complex[j]]             # keep if Complex for j is same

示例数据(10个基因，3组，仅显示相关矩阵的前6个COLS):

set.seed(1)
n_genes <- 10
cors <- cor(matrix(rnorm(n_genes * 50), nrow = 50, ncol = n_genes))
lkps <- data.frame(
  Complex = sample(c("Complex A", "Complex B", "Complex C"), n_genes, replace = TRUE),
  Protein_ID = replicate(n_genes, paste0(sample(c(letters, LETTERS), 4, replace = TRUE), collapse = "")))
