preprocess_querydata: preprocess_querydata

In VCCRI/SPAGI: SPAGI: Identification of active signalling pathways by integrating gene expression and protein interaction network

Description

This function preprocesses the query data to calculate average value of the replicates and then get expressed genes based on expression cut-off.

Usage

preprocess_querydata(cell.tissue.data, exp.cutoff.th, species = "hsapiens",
  data.format = "matrix", experiment.descriptor = NULL)

Arguments

cell.tissue.data	An expression matrix with replicated column headers per-replicate. It is assumed that all query data are in RPKM/FPKM/CPM and log normalized form. Also assume that gene ids are official gene symbols. For the matrix, rows denote the genes and the columns denote the cell types or tissues. Duplicate column names are expected in this case denoting replicate samples. All the replicate samples for a specific cell or tissue should have identical column names, otherwise the experiment.descriptor parameter should be used to identify replicate samples of a specific cell type or tissue.
exp.cutoff.th	An expression cut-off threshold value for the query data.
species	The species abbreviation of the query data (cell.tissue.data). Default is "hsapiens".
data.format	Format of cell.tissue.data. Default is "matrix".
experiment.descriptor	A vector corresponding to the matrix column names of cell.tissue.data, containing the cell type or tissues of each sample. The names should be identical for a specific cell or tissue. Defaults to NULL.

Details

This function preprocesses the query data to calculate average value of the replicates and then get expressed genes based on expression cut-off.

Value

This function returns a list with specifically expressed genes for each cell type / tissue

Examples

query.data<-matrix(sample(1:10, 100, replace=TRUE),10,10)
rownames(query.data)<-c("CRYAA", "CRYAB", "CRYBB3", "PAX6", "SOX2", "PROX1", "SIX3", "CRIM1", "CRYBB2", "BMP7")
colnames(query.data)<-c("cell1", "cell1", "cell1", "cell2", "cell2", "cell2", "cell3", "cell3", "cell3", "cell3")
preprocess_querydata(cell.tissue.data=query.data, exp.cutoff.th=5)
