create volcano plots for all comparisons present in the results file

Usage

plotVolcano(
  res,
  pval_cutoff = 0.05,
  fc_cutoff = 1,
  label = "sig",
  top_n = NULL,
  up_color = "red3",
  down_color = "dodgerblue",
  ns_color = "grey70",
  specify_imputed = T
)

Arguments

res

A data frame with results from get_DEPresults()

pval_cutoff

The p.adj significance cutoff

fc_cutoff

The log2 fold change significance cutoff

label

Specifies which points to label. The default is 'sig', labeling all significant points. Entering a value for top_n limits the labeling to the top_n up- and top_n down-regulated proteins based on the p.adj. When providing a vector with protein names, only those points are labeled.

top_n

Specifies how many significant points to label.

up_color

Specifies the color of the significantly up-regulated proteins.

down_color

Specifies the color of the significantly down-regulated proteins.

ns_color

Specifies the color of non-significant proteins.

specify_imputed

Boolean specifying whether proteins with imputed values need to be indicated with open circles, versus closed circles for complete cases.

Value

A single ggplot object (1 comparison) or a list with ggplot objects.

vol <- plotVolcano(res, top_n = 10) # Labels the top 10 upregulated and
# top10 downregulated proteins based on fdr.
vol <- plotVolcano(res, label = c('SMAD3', 'SMAD4')) # Only labels SMAD3/4
vol <- plotVolcano(res, up_color = 'green', down_color = 'yellow') #
# Gives a very ugly volcano plot
