plotCorrelation: Plotting pairwise scatter plots of CAGE signal and...

In ge11232002/CAGEr: Analysis of CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) sequencing data for precise mapping of transcription start sites and promoterome mining

Description

Creates PNG file with scatter plots of CAGE signal for all pairs of selected samples and calculates the correlation between them.

Usage

plotCorrelation(object, what = "CTSS", values = "raw",
				samples = "all", method = "pearson",
				tagCountThreshold = 1, applyThresholdBoth = FALSE,
				plotSize = 800)

Arguments

object	A CAGEset object
what	Which level should be used for plotting and calculating correlation. Can be either "CTSS" to use individual TSSs or "consensusClusters" to use consensus clusters, i.e. entire promoters.
values	Specifies which values will be used for plotting and calculating correlation. Can be either "raw" to use raw tag count per TSS or "normalized" to use normalized CAGE signal. Used only when what = "CTSS", otherwise ignored.
samples	Character vector of sample labels for which the scatter plots should be plotted and correlation calculated. Can be either "all" to plot and calculate pairwise correlations between all samples in a CAGEset object, or a subset of valid sample labels as returned by sampleLabels function.
method	A character string indicating which correlation coefficient should be computed. Passed to cor function. Can be one of "pearson", "spearman", or "kendall".
tagCountThreshold, applyThresholdBoth	Only TSSs with tag count >= tagCountThreshold in either one (applyThresholdBoth = FALSE) or both samples (applyThresholdBoth = TRUE) are plotted and used to calculate correlation.
plotSize	Size of the individual comparison plot in pixels - the total size of the resulting png will be length(samples) * plotSize in both dimensions.

Value

Creates PNG file named "Pairwise_tag_count_correlation.png" in the working directory. Returns a matrix of pairwise correlations between selected samples.
