volcanoPlottly: volcanoPlottly

Description

Create an interactive volcano plot of differential expression results using "Plotly".

Usage

volcanoPlottly(
  x,
  palettePoint,
  Th_logFC,
  Th_Pvalue,
  subsetGenes,
  st_significance
)

Value

A Plotly object ("plotly::ggplotly") representing the interactive volcano plot.

Arguments

x: Character. File path to a CSV containing DEG results, with at least columns "ID", "logFC", and one of "PValue", "FDR", or "FWER".
palettePoint: Character. Name of a discrete palette from the "paletteer" package, supplying colors for "UP", "DOWN", and "NO".
Th_logFC: Numeric. Absolute log2 fold-change threshold to call a gene "UP" or "DOWN".
Th_Pvalue: Numeric. P-value threshold to call significance (uses "FDR"/"FWER" if "st_significance = "adjustPvalue"", otherwise raw "PValue").
subsetGenes: Integer or "Inf". If numeric, only the top "subsetGenes" genes by p-value are included in the plot.
st_significance: Character. Which p-value column to use: "adjustPvalue" (FDR or FWER) or "PValue".

Details

This function reads a CSV of DEGs, classifies genes as up/down/no change based on log-fold change and p-value thresholds, and renders an interactive volcano plot via "plotly::ggplotly()".

Reads the input CSV and checks for duplicate IDs.
Standardizes columns to "ID", "logFC", and "adjustPvalue" or "PValue".
Optionally subsets to the top N genes by p-value.
Classifies each gene as "UP", "DOWN", or "NO" based on thresholds.
Plots points with manual fill, size, and alpha scales, adds threshold lines, and converts to an interactive Plotly graph.
