Plot data comparison

If element = NULL, comparison is plotted based on all elements. Otherwise, show scatter or GSEA plots for a single element compared with previously given differential expression results.

# S3 method for referenceComparison
plot(
  x,
  element = NULL,
  method = c("spearman", "pearson", "gsea", "rankProduct"),
  n = c(3, 3),
  showMetadata = TRUE,
  plotNonRankedPerturbations = FALSE,
  alpha = 0.3,
  genes = c("both", "top", "bottom"),
  ...,
  zscores = NULL,
  title = NULL
)

Arguments

x

referenceComparison object: obtained after running rankSimilarPerturbations() or predictTargetingDrugs()

element

Character: identifier in the first column of x

method

Character: method to plot results; choose between spearman, pearson, gsea or rankProduct (the last one is only available if element = NULL)

n

Numeric: number of top and bottom genes to label (if a vector of two numbers is given, the first and second numbers will be used as the number of top and bottom genes to label, respectively); only used if element = NULL

showMetadata

Boolean: show available metadata information instead of identifiers (if available)? Only used if element = NULL

plotNonRankedPerturbations

Boolean: plot non-ranked data in grey? Only used if element = NULL

alpha

Numeric: transparency; only used if element = NULL

genes

Character: when plotting gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), plot most up-regulated genes (genes = "top"), most down-regulated genes (genes = "bottom") or both (genes = "both"); only used if method = "gsea" and geneset = NULL

...

Extra arguments currently not used

zscores

Data frame (GCTX z-scores) or character (respective filepath to load data from file)

title

Character: plot title (if NULL, the default title depends on the context; ignored when plotting multiple perturbations)

Value

Plot illustrating the reference comparison
