getDist: Get tissue specific distribution

In roonysgalbi/tispec: Calculates tissue specificity from RNA-seq data

Description

This function counts the total number of tissue specific protein coding, lincRNA, and miRNA genes for each tissue.

Usage

getDist(x, y)

Arguments

x	ensembl annotated tau expression fraction file i.e. output from getMart()
y	threshold tau value, range 0-1

Value

Returns the number of each type of tissue specific gene that meet the user defined specificity threshold

Examples

# Get the number of absolutely specific genes (ASGs, tau = 1) in each tissue
head(tauAnno)
getDist(tauAnno, 1) 
# Get the number of highly specific genes (HSGs, tau = 0.85) in each tissue
getDist(tauAnno, 0.85)
