hetmech prototyping and data repository

Hetmech is a project to extract mechanistic connections between nodes in hetnets. The project aims to identify the relevant network connections between a set of query nodes. The method is designed to operate on hetnets (networks with multiple node or relationship types).

Note: the hetmech python package has been renamed to hetmatpy and relocated to hetio/hetmatpy. This repository is now used as a historical archive, as well as a dataset storage and method prototyping repository. This project is still under development: use with caution.

Environment

This repository uses conda to manage its environment as specified in environment.yml. Install the environment with:

conda env create --file=environment.yml

Then use conda activate hetmech and conda deactivate to activate or deactivate the environment.
