GRAPES-DD

GRAPES-DD is a modified version of GRAPES (available at https://github.com/InfOmics/GRAPES ) in which the trie indexing structure has been replaced with a multi-terminal multiway decision diagram (MTMDD).

GRAPES-DD research paper has been published on BMC Bioinformatics: it is available here.


Description

GRAPES-DD is developed in C++ under GNU\Linux using POSIX Threads programming. It requires the MEDDLY Library 0.15.1 available at https://github.com/asminer/meddly/releases

The GRAPES-DD workflow is composed by two main phases:

  1. the indexing building phase in which an MTMDD indexing the collection of target graphs is created;
  2. the filtering phase in which, given a query graph, the set of target graphs is potentially restricted to those sub-graphs probably containing the query.

The GRAPES-DD verification phase remains as in the original version of the software.


Datasets

We provide all the graphs used during testing.

The directory example/graphs provides the collections of graphs. The directory example/queries provides both the collections of graphs and the query graphs. Inside these directory there are two subdirectories:

  • biochemical directory contains the biochemical graphs: PDBS, PCM and PPI, as well as the single PPI networks (C. elegans, D. melanogaster, H. sapiens, M. musculus and S. cerevisiae).
  • synthetic directory contains the synthetic Barabasi and Forestfire graphs.
    • Barabasi folder structure is the following: Barabasi/directed/num_nodes/degree/target-powerP-ID_LabelRange.gfd where:
      • num_nodes is the number of vertices of the graph
      • degree is the average degree of a vertex
      • P is the exponent of the power-law
      • LabelRange is the percentage of distinct labels respect to the number of vertices.
    • ForestFire folder structure is the following: ForestFire/directed/num_nodes/p/targetID_LabelRange.gfd where:
      • num_nodes is the number of vertices of the graph
      • p is the probability of a link between two vertices
      • LabelRange is the percentage of distinct labels respect to the numer of vertices.

Each target graph presents in the queries folder has a dedicated subfolder containing the query graphs extracted from it. Query folder names represent the number of vertices of the query graph. Query graph names are LabelRange_sub_ID.gfd.

Usage

GRAPES-DD is developed in C++ under GNU\Linux using POSIX Threads programming. It requires the MEDDLY Library 0.15.1 available at https://github.com/asminer/meddly/releases

The executable grapes_dd allows you to both build the database index and to run a query.

You can try and compare GRAPES-DD and GRAPES performances by using the runTest.py python script. Tests will be run through Docker if it is installed.

Index building phase:

./runTest.py [-i folder_database/graph_database.gfd] -l lp -t num_threads

Index building + query matching phase:

./runTest.py [-i folder_database/graph_database.gfd -q folder_database/folder_query/query_graph.gff] -l lp -t nt

Parameter Description
-i db_file path of the textual graphs database file
-q query_file path of the textual graph query file
-l lp specify feature paths length, namely the depth of the DFS which extract paths. lp must be greather than 1, eg -lp 3. Default value is 4.
-t nt number of threads to be used during matching phase. Default value is 1.

We recommend you to run the software via Docker. See https://www.docker.com/

ATTENTION: the query graph file must be located in a subdirectory of the graph database file. Query graphs are graph database specific.

Build from source code

Executables are available only after building source code on your system. Use the build_all.sh script to build the grapes_dd executable.

./build_all.sh 
Database Index Construction

Build the index of the given database of graphs.

./grapes_dd -i db_file -l lp -d bool 
Parameter Description
-i db_file textual graphs database file
-l lp specify feature paths length, namely the depth of the DFS which extract paths. lp must be greather than 1, eg -lp 3. Default value is 4.
-d bool flag indicating if the graphs are directed (true) or undirected (false). Default value is true.

The indexing phase produces the db_file.index.lp.mtdd file in which the database index is stored.

Querying
./grapes_dd -i db_file -q query_file -l lp -d bool -t nthreads
Attribute Description
-i db_file textual graphs database file
-q query_file textual query graph file. It must contain just one graph
-l lp specify feature paths length, namely the depth of the DFS which extract paths. lp must be greather than 1, eg -lp 3. Default value is 4.
-d bool flag indicating if the graphs are directed (true) or undirected (false). Default value is true.
-t nthreads number of threads to be used during matching phase

ATTENTION: before run a query, the database index must have been computed and the resultant file must be maintained in the same directory of the database textual file.


Use containerized GRAPES-DD

We built a Docker image containing both GRAPES-DD and GRAPES. In the folder where the Dockerfile is located, run the following command to build the image:

Build the docker image

docker build -t "grapes_dd" .

Database Index Construction

You have to mount the folder containing the graph database in /data/db_folder.

docker run -v db_folder:/data/db_file grapes_dd [mode] -i db_file -l lp -d bool

Parameter Description
mode specify the tool to be used (grapes or grapes_dd).
-i db_file textual graphs database file
-l lp specify feature paths length, namely the depth of the DFS which extract paths. lp must be greather than 1, eg -lp 3. Default value is 4.
-d bool flag indicating if the graphs are directed (true) or undirected (false). Default value is true.
Querying

You have to mount the folders containing the graph database and the query file in /data/db_file and /data/query_file, respectively.

docker run -v db_folder:/data/db_file -v query_folder:/data/query_file grapes_dd [grapes|grapes_dd] -i db_file -l lp -d bool -t nthreads

Parameter Description
mode specify the tool to be used (grapes or grapes_dd).
-i db_file textual graphs database file
-q query_file textual query graph file. It must contain just one graph
-l lp specify feature paths length, namely the depth of the DFS which extract paths. lp must be greather than 1, eg -lp 3. Default value is 4.
-d bool flag indicating if the graphs are directed (true) or undirected (false). Default value is true.
-t nthreads number of threads to be used during matching phase
