netmap.masking.external

External reference GRN integration and genome-proximity regulator annotation.

Functions in this module annotate GRN edges with:

• Overlap with a literature reference network (e.g. CollecTRI) via add_external_grn().

• TF→gene relationships derived from genomic proximity (GTF + BED files) via get_regulators() and add_genome_information_to_anndata().

Functions

add_external_grn	Annotate GRN edges with overlap against an external reference network.
add_genome_information_to_anndata	Merge TF→gene regulatory relationships into GRN AnnData variable metadata.
get_genome_annotation_from_gtf	Return gene-feature rows from a parsed GTF DataFrame.
get_regulators	Identify TF regulators of each gene by proximity to the TSS.
preprocess_bed_file	Read a BED file and parse the TF motif list column.
