MA-plot: plot differences versus averages for high-throughput data

Description

A generic function which produces an MA-plot for an object containing microarray, RNA-Seq or other data.

Usage

plotMA(object, ...)

Arguments

Value

Undefined. The function exists for its side effect, producing a plot.
