Source: R/collapse_deg.R

This function to remove redundant geneIDs standing for the same gene name

collapse_deg(diffexp, genenamecol, pcriteria)

Arguments

diffexp

data.frame/data.table output of the deg.def() function

genenamecol

the column name of the gene name variable <string>

pcriteria

the column name of the pvalue criteria to consider <string>

Value

data.table differential expression results with unique gene names

Examples

data(diffexplist)
diffexp <- collapse_deg(diffexplist[[1]], "Symbol", "pvalue")
head(diffexp, 3)
