Object of class TxDb giving transcription meta data for a genome
assembly. See Bioconductor annotation packages.
gr
Object of class GRanges specifying the region of interest and
corresponding to a single gene. See Bioconductor package GRanges.
genome
Object of class BSgenome specifying the genome sequence of
interest. See Bioconductor annotation packages.
reduce
Boolean specifying whether to collapse gene isoforms within the
region of interest into one representative transcript. Experimental use with
caution!
gene_colour
Character string specifying the colour of the gene to be
plotted.
base
Numeric vector of log bases to transform the data
corresponding to the elements supplied to the variable transform See details.
transform
Character vector specifying what objects to log transform,
accepts "Intron", "CDS", and "UTR" See details.
isoformSel
Character vector specifying the names
(from the txdb object) of isoforms within the region of interest to display.
labelTranscript
Boolean specifying whether to plot the transcript
names in the gene plot.
labelTranscriptSize
Integer specifying the size of the transcript
name text in the gene plot.
plotLayer
Valid ggplot2 layer to be added to the gene plot.
Details
geneViz is an internal function which will output a list of three
elements. As a convenience the function is exported however to obtain the
plot from geneViz the user must call the first element of the list. geneViz
is intended to plot gene features within a single gene with boundaries
specified by the GRanges object, plotting more that one gene is advised
against.
Typically, introns of a transcript are much larger than exons, while exons are
sometimes of greater interest. To address this, genCov will by default
scale the x-axis to expand track information according to region type: coding
sequence (CDS), untranslated region (UTR), or intron / intergenic (Intron).
The amount by which each region is scaled is controlled by the 'base' and
'transform' arguments. 'transform' specifies which regions to scale, and 'base'
corresponds to the log base transform to apply to those regions. To keep one or
more region types from being scaled, omit the corresponding entries from the
'base' and 'transform' vectors.
Value
object of class list with list elements containing a ggplot object,
the gene features within the plot as a data frame, and mapping information
of the gene features within the ggplot object.
