relexprByGene {casper} | R Documentation

## Compute relative expressions within each gene

### Description

Transforms relative expressions that add up to 1 within each gene island (the default output of casper) to relative expressions that add up to 1 per gene.

### Usage

    relexprByGene(x, normbylength=FALSE, genomeDB)

### Arguments

`x` | `ExpressionSet` containing relative expressions. (typically, adding up to 1 for each island_id) Column `gene_id` in `fData(x)` should contain a unique gene identifier.
`normbylength` | If set to `TRUE`, isoform expressions are divided by isoform length before re-normalizing. This is useful for taking into account that longer isoforms produce more reads than shorter isoforms.
`genomeDB` | If `normbylength==TRUE`, `genomeDB` should be an `annotatedGenome` object containing the annotated genome (see `procGenome`)

### Value

`ExpressionSet` with relative expressions adding up to one for each `gene_id`.
