Volcano plot

Description

Volcano plot

Usage

plotVolcano(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'DESeqAnalysis'
plotVolcano(
  object,
  i,
  alphaThreshold = NULL,
  baseMeanThreshold = NULL,
  lfcThreshold = NULL,
  genes = NULL,
  ntop = 0L,
  ...
)

## S4 method for signature 'DESeqResults'
plotVolcano(
  object,
  direction = c("both", "up", "down"),
  alphaThreshold = NULL,
  baseMeanThreshold = NULL,
  lfcThreshold = NULL,
  genes = NULL,
  ntop = 0L,
  pointColor = c(downregulated = AcidPlots::lightPalette[["purple"]], upregulated =
    AcidPlots::lightPalette[["orange"]], nonsignificant =
    AcidPlots::lightPalette[["gray"]]),
  pointSize = 2L,
  pointAlpha = 0.8,
  limits = list(x = NULL, y = c(1e-10, 1L)),
  labels = list(title = TRUE, subtitle = NULL),
  histograms = FALSE
)

Arguments

object	Object.
i	Indices specifying elements to extract or replace. Indices are numeric or character vectors, empty (missing), or NULL. For more information: help(topic = "Extract", package = "base")
alphaThreshold	numeric(1) or NULL. Adjusted P value ("alpha") cutoff. If left NULL, will use the cutoff defined in the object.
baseMeanThreshold	numeric(1) or NULL. Base mean (i.e. average expression across all samples) threshold. If left NULL, will use the cutoff defined in the object. Applies in general to DESeq2 RNA-seq differential expression output.
lfcThreshold	numeric(1) or NULL. Log (base 2) fold change ratio cutoff threshold. If left NULL, will use the cutoff defined in the object.
genes	character. Gene identifiers.
ntop	integer(1). Number of top features to label.
...	Additional arguments.
direction	character(1). Include "both", "up", or "down" directions.
pointColor	character(1). Default point color for the plot.
pointSize	numeric(1). Point size for dots in the plot. In the range of 1-3 is generally recommended.
pointAlpha	numeric(1) (0-1). Alpha transparency level.
limits	list(2). Named list containing "x" and "y" that define the lower and upper limits for each axis. Set automatically by default when left NULL.
labels	list. ggplot2 labels. See ggplot2::labs() for details.
histograms	logical(1). Show LFC and P value histograms.

Value

ggplot.

Examples

data(deseq)

## Get genes from DESeqDataSet.
dds <- as.DESeqDataSet(deseq)
genes <- head(rownames(dds))
print(genes)

## DESeqAnalysis ====
object <- deseq
plotVolcano(object, i = 1L)

## Customize the colors.
plotVolcano(
    object = object,
    i = 1L,
    pointColor = c(
        downregulated = "red",
        nonsignificant = "black",
        upregulated = "green"
    )
)

## Directional support (up or down).
plotVolcano(
    object = object,
    i = 1L,
    direction = "up",
    ntop = 5L
)
plotVolcano(
    object = object,
    i = 1L,
    direction = "down",
    ntop = 5L
)

## Label genes manually.
## Note that either gene IDs or names (symbols) are supported.
plotVolcano(object, i = 1L, genes = genes)
