heatmap.sig.genes

0th

Percentile

A function to plot the heatmap of DE genes detectred at a given FDR threshold from the Meta-analysis.

heatmap.sig.genes,a function to draw the Heatmap of DE genes given a FDR cut point obtained from the Meta-analysis.

Keywords
Meta-analysis DE genes
Usage
heatmap.sig.genes(result,meta.method, fdr.cut=0.2,color="GR")
Arguments
result
meta.method
If multiple methods were chosen for the meta analysis, the user needs to specify which which method is to be used for plotting.
fdr.cut
cut off for FDR for the meta analysis result.
color
The color scheme for the heatmap. "GR" is the default. "GR" stands for green, black,red. "BY" stands for blue,black and yellow.
Value

meta analysis across studies/datasets.

#------example 2: -----------#
# here I generate two pseudo datasets
set.seed(123)
label1<-rep(0:1,each=5)
label2<-rep(0:1,each=5)
exp1<-cbind(matrix(rnorm(5*200),200,5),matrix(rnorm(5*200,2),200,5))
exp2<-cbind(matrix(rnorm(5*200),200,5),matrix(rnorm(5*200,1.5),200,5))

#the input has to be arranged in lists
x<-list(list(exp1,label1),list(exp2,label2))

#here I used the modt test for individual study and used Fisher's method to combine results
#from multiple studies.
