Hierarchical networks support (CX2/ HCX)

Cellmaps Utils provide utilities supporting hierarchical networks, generated either by Cellmaps Generate Hierarchy or from other sources.

The CX2 format is fully compatible with the Cell Maps tools, making it the recommended format for use. If user has a network in another common format, the Cell Maps Utils package provides utilities to convert it to CX2.

For hierarchical networks, if the user wishes to display network subsystems in Cytoscape, the necessary format is HCX — a specialized version of CX2 with additional annotations. This package includes utilities to facilitate the seamless creation of HCX format from CX2 networks.
