genetrack_ly: Gene tracks using 'plotly'

In locuszoomr: Gene Locus Plot with Gene Annotations

Gene tracks using 'plotly'

Description

Plot gene annotation tracks from ensembldb data using plotly.

Usage

genetrack_ly(
  locus,
  filter_gene_name = NULL,
  filter_gene_biotype = NULL,
  cex.text = 0.7,
  italics = FALSE,
  gene_col = ifelse(showExons, "blue4", "skyblue"),
  exon_col = "blue4",
  exon_border = "blue4",
  showExons = TRUE,
  maxrows = 8,
  width = 600,
  xlab = NULL,
  blanks = c("fill", "hide", "show"),
  height = NULL,
  plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

locus	Object of class 'locus' generated by locus().
filter_gene_name	Vector of gene names to display.
filter_gene_biotype	Vector of gene biotypes to be filtered. Use ensembldb::listGenebiotypes() to display possible biotypes. For example, ensembldb::listGenebiotypes(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v75)
cex.text	Font size for gene text.
italics	Logical whether gene text is in italics.
gene_col	Colour for gene lines.
exon_col	Fill colour for exons.
exon_border	Border line colour outlining exons (or genes if showExons is FALSE). Set to NA for no border.
showExons	Logical whether to show exons or simply show whole gene as a rectangle. If showExons = FALSE colours are specified by exon_border for rectangle border and gene_col for the fill colour.
maxrows	Specifies maximum number of rows to display in gene annotation panel.
width	Width of plotly plot in pixels which is purely used to prevent overlapping text for gene names.
xlab	Title for x axis. Defaults to chromosome seqname specified in locus.
blanks	Controls handling of genes with blank names: "fill" replaces blank gene symbols with ensembl gene ids. "hide" completely hides genes which are missing gene symbols. "show" shows gene lines but no label (hovertext is still available).
height	Height in pixels (optional, defaults to automatic sizing).
plot	Logical whether to produce plotly object or return plot coordinates.

Details

This function can used to plot gene annotation tracks on their own.

Value

Either a 'plotly' plotting object showing gene tracks, or if plot = FALSE a list containing TX, a dataframe of coordinates for gene transcripts, and EX, a dataframe of coordinates for exons.

Examples

if(require(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v75)) {
data(SLE_gwas_sub)
loc <- locus(SLE_gwas_sub, gene = 'UBE2L3', flank = 1e5,
             ens_db = "EnsDb.Hsapiens.v75")
genetrack_ly(loc)
}
