Examples
>>> create_subnetwork(nodes='all') # choose all selected and unselected nodes 1477 >>> create_subnetwork(edges='selected') # choose only nodes whose edges are selected, and include those edges 1477 >>> create_subnetwork(nodes=['RAP1', 'HIS4', 'PDC1', 'RPL18A'], nodes_by_col='COMMON', subnetwork_name=base_name+'xx')
