Gene expression in normal tissues (GTEx)

Source: R/GTEX_expression.R
GTEX_expression.Rd

Plots an expression heatmap of genes in normal tissues (GTEx database).

Usage

GTEX_expression(
  genes = NULL,
  units = c("TPM", "log_TPM"),
  include_CTP = FALSE,
  values_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

genes

character naming the selected genes. The default value, NULL, takes all CT (specific) genes.

units

character(1) with expression values unit. Can be "TPM" (default) or "log_TPM" (log(TPM + 1)).

include_CTP

logical(1) If TRUE, CTP genes are included. (FALSE by default).

values_only

logical(1). If TRUE, the function will return the expression values in all samples instead of the heatmap. Default is FALSE.

Value

A heatmap of selected genes expression in normal tissues. If values_only = TRUE, expression values are returned instead.
