stat_late_conservation_test: Late Conservation Test

Description

Test for late conservation patterns in transcriptomic data by comparing late developmental stages to early and mid stages.

Usage

stat_late_conservation_test(phyex_set, modules, ...)

Value

A ConservationTestResult object with late conservation test results

Arguments

phyex_set

A PhyloExpressionSet object

modules

A named list with elements 'early', 'mid', and 'late' containing stage indices for each developmental module

...

Additional arguments passed to stat_generic_conservation_test

Details

The late conservation test evaluates whether later developmental stages show lower transcriptomic index values (indicating older genes) compared to earlier stages. The test computes a score based on the minimum difference between early vs. late and mid vs. late TXI values.

Examples

# Define developmental modules
modules <- list(early = 1:2, mid = 3:5, late = 6:7)
result <- stat_late_conservation_test(example_phyex_set_old, modules)
