This function uses the output of sig_genes_extract_all() as well as the logcounts from the layer-level (group-level) data to visualize the expression of a given gene and display the modeling results for the given gene.

layer_boxplot(
  i = 1,
  sig_genes = sig_genes_extract(),
  short_title = TRUE,
  sce_layer = fetch_data(type = "sce_layer"),
  col_bkg_box = "grey80",
  col_bkg_point = "grey40",
  col_low_box = "violet",
  col_low_point = "darkviolet",
  col_high_box = "skyblue",
  col_high_point = "dodgerblue4",
  cex = 2,
  group_var = "layer_guess_reordered_short",
  assayname = "logcounts"
)

Arguments

i

A integer(1) indicating which row of sig_genes do you want to plot.

sig_genes

The output of sig_genes_extract_all().

short_title

A logical(1) indicating whether to print a short title or not.

sce_layer

Defaults to the output of fetch_data(type = 'sce_layer'). This is a SingleCellExperiment object with the spot-level Visium data compressed via pseudo-bulking to the layer-level (group-level) resolution. See fetch_data() for more details.

col_bkg_box

Box background color for layers not used when visualizing the pairwise model results.

col_bkg_point

Similar to col_bkg_box but for the points.

col_low_box

Box background color for layer(s) with the expected lower expression based on the actual test for row i of sig_genes.

col_low_point

Similar to col_low_box but for the points.

col_high_box

Similar to col_low_box but for the expected layer(s) with higher expression.

col_high_point

Similar to col_high_box but for the points.

cex

Controls the size of the text, points and axis legends.

group_var

A character(1) specifying a colData(sce_layer) column name to use for the x-axis.

assayname

A character(1) specifying the default assay to use from assays(sce_layer).

Value

This function creates a boxplot of the layer-level data (group-level) separated by layer and colored based on the model type from row i of sig_genes.
