boxplotCorrelation: Plot boxplot and correlation of a miRNA-mRNA pair

In mariavica/mircomb: An R package for analyzing miRNA-mRNA interactions

Description

Given a miRNA and a mRNA, plots in the same a frame a boxplot of the miRNA expression, a boxplot of the mRNA expression and a scatterplot of showing the correlation between the two.

Usage

boxplotCorrelation(obj, miRNA, mRNA, col.color = 1, pos.leg = "topright",
 colors = c("turquoise", "violet"), ...)

Arguments

obj	a corObject
miRNA	character with the name of the miRNA to plot
mRNA	character with the name of the miRNA to plot
col.color	number or name of the column in the pheno.miRNA or pheno.mRNA slot which define the grouping variables
colors	character vector indicating the colors that will be used for each variable from col.color
pos.leg	legend position: "topright", "bottomright", "topleft", or "bottomleft"
...	other parameters

Value

a plot that includes the following figures:

• Top-right: boxplot of the miRNA

• Bottom-left: boxplot of the mRNA

• Bottom-right: scatter plot of the correlation (see plotCorrelation.)
