heatmapSexGenes: Heatmap of Sex Marker Genes

In kmuench/DESeqAid: DESeqAid: Kristin's favorite functions for her DESeq-based differential expression pipelines

Description

This function allows you to make a heatmap of sex marker gene expression for the samples in your study to make sure you categorized their sex correctly. Pro tip: male samples are more likely to have high X marker expression and high Y marker expression because of maternal contamination.

Usage

heatmapSexGenes(myData_rlg, hugoOrEnsembl, sampleTable, myTitle)

Arguments

myData_rlg	An rlog-normalized DESeqDataset object produced using DESeq's DESeqDataSetFromHTSeqCount() and rlog() functions
hugoOrEnsembl	Either a 1 (for HUGO annotations) or 2 (for Ensembl annotations)
sampleTable	sampleTable used to import data into DESeq's DESeqDataSetFromHTSeqCount() function
myTitle	The title that will display over the plot

Examples

heatmapSexGenes(amySexGenes_Counts, sampleTable, 'Expression of Sex Genes in Samples')
