Description

Identifies genes with high variance compared to their median expression (top quartile) within each experimentCertain function

Usage

Arguments

dat

SummarizedExperiment object containing gene-by-sample expression matrix.

i

default value 1; non-zero index value of assay containing the matrix data

exp_labels

character vector that denotes the source (Study ID) of each sample.

Value

The output is a vector of gene names that are highly variable in every experiment (intersect)
