netmap.utils.tf_utils.get_tf_index(tf_genes, gene_names, tfs_only=True)

Return the indices and names of transcription factors within a gene list.

Parameters:

• tf_genes (list of str) – List of transcription factor names.

• gene_names (list of str) – List of gene names to search for transcription factors.

• tfs_only (bool) – If True, restrict output to transcription factors present in gene_names; if False, return the full list of indices and genes.

Returns:

(tfs_indexes, tf_names) — integer indices and corresponding
