title: 'mechgraph: Mechanism Evidence Graph Data Model'
version: 0.0.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.mechgraph
abstract: Provides a lightweight graph data model for representing, combining, querying,
  and summarizing evidence-backed biological mechanism graphs. A mechgraph is an S3
  list holding a node table, an edge table, and provenance metadata. The package implements
  builders that convert STRING and BioGRID interaction tables into mechgraph objects,
  combiners (mg_bind(), mg_combine()) that merge graphs while preserving duplicate
  evidence records, accessors (mg_nodes(), mg_edges(), mg_metadata()) and mutators
  (mg_add_*(), mg_drop_*()) for node and edge tables, filters by type, source, identifier,
  and score, induced-subgraph construction, structural validation (mg_validate()),
  and quality-control summaries (mg_qc()). Szklarczyk et al. (2023) <https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkac1000>
