kpy.plot_cpdb - plot interacting pair rather than genes

[elise-smith]

Thank you for the great package!
For kpy.plot_cpdb, I have been specifying genes of interest, but sometimes it would be more useful to plot specific interacting pairs of ligands/receptors.
Could there be an option to plot the interacting_pair, rather than just genes?
Many thanks

hi @elise-smith, sure i can make that happen but may take some time.

To clarify, the behaviour you want is to specify e.g. ["CPI-SC0B5CEA47D", "CPI-SC0C8B7BCBB"] and it will plot it accordingly? do you still want it to display as the gene names in the final output?

[zktuong]

OH wait you mean you just want e.g. TNF-TNFR?

[elise-smith]

Thank you for your quick reply!
Sorry, I just realised that the genes option takes ligand receptor pairs, as well as individual genes, which was what I was looking for
Thanks again

well, kinda. the current way it works is it does a regex grab but it's not specific to a specific interacting pair.

I'm going to make a PR soon in the next 5 min and you can try the new option to specify the specify pair's name.

you can try it now with:

pip install git+https://www.github.com/zktuong/ktplotspy@add-interacting-pairs-option

Just tested it out on a few interacting pairs and it works well!
Thank you very much
