variableGenes {MetaNeighbor}R Documentation

Identify a highly variable gene set

Description

Identifies genes with high variance compared to their median expression (top quartile) within each experimentCertain function

Usage

variableGenes(dat, i = 1, exp_labels)

Arguments

dat

SummarizedExperiment object containing gene-by-sample expression matrix.

i

default value 1; non-zero index value of assay containing the matrix data

exp_labels

character vector that denotes the source (Study ID) of each sample.

Value

The output is a vector of gene names that are highly variable in every experiment (intersect)

Examples

data(mn_data)
var_genes = variableGenes(dat = mn_data, exp_labels = mn_data$study_id)
var_genes
