Arguments

mgl	List; see buildFromNames, buildFromRegion, or buildFromEnsgs
genes	Character vector indicating genes to be considered (note gene names must match names(mgl))
makePlot	Logical flag - TRUE indicates pdf file named 'CoXpGene.pdf' will be saved in the current directory
saveFile	Logical flag - TRUE indicates csv file named 'CoXpGene.csv' will be saved in the current directory. 'CoXpGene.csv' contains cor.test results
data	Number corresponding to element of mgl containing data of interest: 8 for count data and 10 for RPKM
tissue	Character vector indicating tissues to be considered (note tissue names must match those provided here: c('All', Adipose - Subcutaneous', 'Adipose - Visceral (Omentum)', 'Adrenal Gland', 'Artery - Aorta', 'Artery - Coronary', 'Artery - Tibial', 'Bladder', 'Brain - Amygdala', 'Brain - Anterior cingulate cortex (BA24)', 'Brain - Caudate (basal ganglia)', 'Brain - Cerebellar Hemisphere', 'Brain - Cerebellum', 'Brain - Cortex', 'Brain - Frontal Cortex (BA9)', 'Brain - Hippocampus', 'Brain - Hypothalamus', 'Brain - Nucleus accumbens (basal ganglia)', 'Brain - Putamen (basal ganglia)', 'Brain - Spinal cord (cervical c-1)', 'Brain - Substantia nigra', 'Breast - Mammary Tissue', 'Cells - EBV-transformed lymphocytes', 'Cells - Transformed fibroblasts', 'Cervix - Ectocervix', 'Cervix - Endocervix', 'Colon - Sigmoid', 'Colon - Transverse', 'Esophagus - Gastroesophageal Junction', 'Esophagus - Mucosa', 'Esophagus - Muscularis', 'Fallopian Tube', 'Heart - Atrial Appendage', 'Heart - Left Ventricle', 'Kidney - Cortex', 'Liver', 'Lung', 'Minor Salivary Gland', 'Muscle - Skeletal', 'Nerve - Tibial', 'Ovary', 'Pancreas', 'Pituitary', 'Prostate', 'Skin - Not Sun Exposed (Suprapubic)', 'Skin - Sun Exposed (Lower leg)', 'Small Intestine - Terminal Ileum', 'Spleen', 'Stomach', 'Testis', 'Thyroid', 'Uterus', 'Vagina', 'Whole Blood'))

Details

Uses the cor.test function in R to test for co-expression between genes. Option to generate scatter plots and a summary table of the correlations to be saved as a pdf and csv, respectively. Any number of genes and tissues can be included. Normalized (data = 7), counts (data = 8), or RPKM (data = 10) can be used.
