To find the attractors in a gene expression matrix ge using CENPA, PTPRC, COL3A1 as seeds:
attractorList<-attractorSearch(ge, c("CENPA","PTPRC","COL3A1"))
The function returns a list of converged attractors.
To find all the genomically localized attractors in a gene expression matrix:
data(grch37.geneSymbol)
GLattractorList<-GLattractorSearch(ge,genome=grch37_genesymbol)
The function returns a list of converged genomically localized attractors.
