load the Ligands and Receptors that corresponds to the row names of the input seurat

lr_load(LR.database, custom_LR_database = NULL, species, input_rownames)

Arguments

LR.database

database to use

custom_LR_database

data.frame. Each row is a ligand-receptor mechanism where the first column corresponds to the source genes that express the ligands subunits (separated by '_') and the second column corresponds to the receptor genes that express the receptor subunits (separated by '_').

species

species in the database (fantom5 or omnipath) to use

input_rownames

the genes names to query

Value

a list of ligands and receptors
