DMRforPairs (version 1.8.0)

plot_annotate_gene: PLOT METHYLATION VALUES AROUND A GENE

Description

Wrapper for plot_annotate_probes. Generates a plot of the methylation status of / around a specific gene.

Usage

plot_annotate_gene(gs,regions,margin=10000,ID,clr=NA,annotate=TRUE,path)

Arguments

gs

Gene Symbol of interest

regions

Output of regionfinder

margin

See export_data

ID

Custom string which will be used as the file name of the figures generated

clr

See export_data

annotate

See plot_annotate_region

path

Path relative to the current working directory to save the files (=experiment.name in export_data)

Value

A number of figures (including pairwise plots if n>2) is generated visualizing methylation status in the samples at / near the gene investigated. Statistics and optional annotation information are reported back by the function.

Details

Expects a subfolder with the name of your experiment to exist as created by export_data(). Writing permissions are required in the working directory to use the export and visualization functions of DMRforPairs. Internet access is required to use the annotation features.

Examples

#For the this step, please ensure that you have writing 
#permissions in your working directory. If any of the
#annotate parameters is set to TRUE, an internet connection
#is required.

#This example expects a folder "example_DMRforPairs" to exist and
#be writable in the current working directory.
