#' Function to draw a Volcano Plot
#'
#' Function that takes two numeric vectors (P-Value and fold change)
#' and draws a volcano plot using \link{ggplot2}
#'
#' @param pval numeric vector of P.Values
#' @param fc numeric vector of fold change
#' @param names character vector with the feature's names.
#' @param size (default \code{2}) Sice of the labels in case they are
#' placed.
#' @param tFC (default \code{2}) fold change threshold. It can be set to
#' \code{NULL} to do not filter.
#' @param tPV (default \code{-log10(0.001)}) P-Value threshold. It can be set
#' to \code{NULL} to not filter.
#' @param show.effect (default \code{FALSE}) If set to \code{TRUE}, the X-axis
#' will should \code{2^logFC} instead to teh default \code{logFC}.
#' @return A \code{ggplot} object
#' @examples
#' data(exposome)
#' w1 <- extract(exwas(expo[1:20, ], asthma~1, family = "binomial"))
#' volcano_plot(w1$pvalue, w1$effect, rownames(w1))
