Gene correlations in CCLE cancer cell lines — CT_correlated

A function that uses expression data from CCLE cell lines and highlights genes correlated (or anti-correlated) with specified CT gene. Genes with a correlation coefficient above threshold are colored in red if they are CT genes or in blue, if not.

Usage

CT_correlated_genes(gene, corr_thr = 0.5, values_only = FALSE)

Arguments

gene: CT gene selected
corr_thr: numeric(1) with default 0.5. Genes with an absolute correlation coefficient (Pearson) higher than this threshold will be highlighted.
values_only: logical(1), FALSE by default. If TRUE, the function will return the correlation coefficients with all genes instead of the plot.

Value

A plot where each dots represent the correlation coefficients (Pearson) between genes and the specified CT gene (entered as input). Genes with a correlation coefficient above threshold are colored in red if they are CT genes or in blue, if not. If values_only = TRUE, all correlations coefficients are returned instead.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
CT_correlated_genes(gene = "MAGEA3")
} # }
