visualiseExprs(
  sce,
  plot = c("boxplot", "violin", "jitter", "density", "pairwise"),
  altExp_name = c("none"),
  exprs_value = "logcounts",

  cell_subset = NULL,
  n = NULL,
  threshold = NULL
)

Arguments

sce

A singlecellexperiment object

plot

Type of plot, includes boxplot, violin, jitter, density, and pairwise. By default is boxplot

altExp_name

A character indicates which expression matrix is used. by default is none (i.e. RNA).

exprs_value

A character indicates which expression value in assayNames is used.

group_by

A character indicates how is the expression will be group in the plots (stored in colData).

facet_by

A character indicates how is the expression will be lay out panels in a grid in the plots (stored in colData).

feature_subset

A vector of characters indicates the subset of features that are used for visualisation

cell_subset

A vector of characters indicates the subset of cells that are used for visualisation

n

A numeric indicates the top expressed features to show.

threshold

Thresholds of high expresion for features (only is used for pairwise plot).

Value

A ggplot to visualise te features distribution

Examples

data(sce_control_subset) visualiseExprs(sce_control_subset, plot = "boxplot", group_by = "SNF_W_louvain", feature_subset = c("hg19_CD8A"))
visualiseExprs(sce_control_subset, plot = "density", altExp_name = "ADT", group_by = "SNF_W_louvain", feature_subset = c("CD8", "CD4"))
