Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Description

Given a ProbeLevelModel object and information regarding the probes (start and stop locations), this function retrieves public information from Biomart

Usage

1
getDetails(plm, probesets, id = "7952953", mart = NULL, verticalBars=FALSE, geneSymbolId="external_gene_id", transcriptClusterId="Transcript.Cluster.ID", colours = "blue", lwd = 1, o = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

plm

a ProbeLevelModel object

probesets

a data.frame object giving the coordinates, must have the following columns: start, stop, seqname (chromosome)

id

identifier to gather annotation details for

mart

a mart returned from useMart

verticalBars

logical, whether to draw vertical bars between probes/probesets

geneSymbolId

the Ensembl/biomaRt column to use as

transcriptClusterId

the column of the probesets dataframe to match the id on

colours

scalar or vector (of the same length as the number of samples) to use for line plot colours

lwd

scalar or vector (of the same length as the number of samples) to use for line plot widths

o

order to reorder plotting of lines

verbose

logical, whether to print out progress comments.

Details

This function gathers the raw data and residuals as 'ExonArray' objects (see GenomeGraphs) and creates a 'GeneRegion' object for the gene selected. A list is returned which can be plotted with 'gdPlot'

Value

a 'list' object that can be plotted with 'gdPlot' (from GenomeGraphs)
