Network plot using NetCoMi and igraph

Question

[Bioinfonext]

Hi, I am trying to plot the Network plot as suggested here (https://github.com/stefpeschel/NetCoMi#single-association-network-on-genus-level) by using igraph and NetCoMi.

But I am not getting the network plot as expected- I just want to label the hub genera and phyla. and want the network plot in spherical layout.

   # Agglomerate to genus level
amgut_genus <- phyloseq::tax_glom(physeqN, taxrank = "Genus")
taxtab <- amgut_genus@tax_table@.Data

amgut_genus@tax_table@.Data <- taxtab
rownames(amgut_genus@otu_table@.Data) <- taxtab[, "Genus"]




net_single <- netConstruct(amgut_genus,
                           filtTax = "highestFreq",
                           filtTaxPar = list(highestFreq = 100),
                           filtSamp = "totalReads",
                           filtSampPar = list(totalReads = 1000),
                           measure = "spring",
                           measurePar = list(nlambda=10, 
                                             rep.num=10),
                           normMethod = "none", 
                           zeroMethod = "none",
                           sparsMethod = "none", 
                           dissFunc = "signed",
                           verbose = 3,
                           seed = 123456)



props_single3 <- netAnalyze(net_single, 
                           centrLCC = TRUE,
                           clustMethod = "cluster_fast_greedy",
                           hubPar = "eigenvector",
                           weightDeg = FALSE, normDeg = FALSE)



graph3 <- igraph::graph_from_adjacency_matrix(net_single$adjaMat1, weighted = TRUE)
lay_fr <- igraph::layout.sphere(graph3)
rownames(lay_sphere) <- rownames(net_single$adjaMat1)



# Get phyla names from the taxonomic table created before
phyla <- as.factor(taxtab[, "Phylum"]))
names(phyla) <- taxtab[, "Genus"]



# Define phylum colors
phylcol <- c("cyan", "blue3", "red", "lawngreen", "yellow", "deeppink")


pdf("soil1.wet.pdf", width = 12, height = 12)
plot(props_single3,
     layout = "layout_with_sphere",
     shortenLabels = "simple",
     labelLength = 10,
     labelScale = FALSE,
     rmSingles = TRUE,
     nodeSize = "clr",
     nodeColor = "cluster",
     hubBorderCol = "darkgray",
     cexNodes = 2,
     cexLabels = 0,
     featVecCol = phyla,
     cexHubLabels = 1,
     title1 = "Network on genus level with Pearson correlations", 
     showTitle = TRUE,
     cexTitle = 2.3)

# Colors used in the legend should be equally transparent as in the plot
phylcol_transp <- NetCoMi:::colToTransp(phylcol, 60)

legend(-1.2, 1.2, cex = 2, pt.cex = 2.5, title = "Phylum:", 
       legend=levels(phyla), col = phylcol_transp, bty = "n", pch = 16) 

legend(0.7, 1.1, cex = 2.2, title = "estimated correlation:",
       legend = c("+","-"), lty = 1, lwd = 3, col = c("darkturquoise","orange"), 
       bty = "n", horiz = TRUE)


dev.off();

Many thanks

It has been a while since I used NetCoMi but in the function plot try adding the following arguments: repulsion = 0.84 and highlightHubs = TRUE
