ggVolcano: Volcano plot from log fold changes and -log10 of the p-value

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) Examples

Description

This function allows you to extract necessary results-based data from a DESEq object class to create a volcano plot (i.e. a scatter plot) of the negative log of the p-value versus the log of the fold change while implementing ggplot2 aesthetics.

Usage

1
ggVolcano(data, xlim = NULL, padj = 0.05)

Arguments

data

a DESeq object class

xlim

optional limits to the x axis

padj

significance threshold for adjusted p-value highlighting

Details

This function allows the user to extract various elements from a DESeq object class which in turn, creates a temporary data frame to plot the necessary ggplot aesthetics. Data points with 'extreme' values that exceed the default viewing frame of the plot will change character classes (i.e. points of interest that either have a substantially large -log10 p-value or log fold change).
