overlaylinc-methods: Compare Two Lists Of Biological Terms In A Plot

In ManuelGoepferich/LINC_before_DEVEL: annotation of noncoding RNAs and coexpressed genes

Description

overlaylinc takes two LINCbio objects as input and computes the intersection of the first with the second. This can be useful in case the two LINCbio objects represent different statistical processing, tissues, controls, thresholds or batches.

Usage

overlaylinc(input1,
            input2)

Arguments

input1	the first LINCbio object
input2	the second LINCbio object

Details

The first object will be taken as reference. This function is an alternative to plotlinc which can be applied on each input object separately or on the intersection of both objects (see example).

Value

an object of the class 'gtable' containing multiple 'grobs'

Methods

signature(input1 = "LINCbio", input2 = "LINCbio")

(see details)

Examples

data(BRAIN_EXPR)

# compare two brain tissues using 'overlaylinc'
ctx_cc <- ctx_cc + feature(customID = "Cortex vs. Cerebellum")
overlaylinc(ctx_cc, crbl_cc)

# alternatively, compute the intersection of both objects
brain_cc <- ctx_cc + crbl_cc
plotlinc(brain_cc)
