list.siggenes {siggenes}R Documentation

List of the significant genes

Description

Lists the genes called differentially expressed by the SAM or the EBAM analysis for a specified value of the threshold Delta.

Usage

  list.siggenes(object, delta, file = "", gene.names = NULL, order = TRUE, 
  text = NULL, append = FALSE)

Arguments

object either a SAM- or an EBAM-object
delta a numeric value specifying the threshold Delta in the SAM or EBAM analysis. Note that the meaning of Delta differs between SAM and EBAM: In SAM, it is a strictly positive value, whereas in EBAM it is a probability
file a character string naming a file in which the output is stored. If "", the significant genes will be shown in the console
gene.names a character vector containing the names of the genes. Needs only to be specified, if the gene names were not specified in sam or ebam, respectively
order if TRUE, the gene names will be ordered by their "significance"
text a character string specifying the heading of the gene list. By default, the header specifies the type of analysis and the used value of Delta. To avoid a header, set text=""
append If TRUE, the output will be appended to file. If FALSE, any existing file having the name file will be destroyed

Value

A list of significant genes either shown in the console or stored in a file.
