Plot the distribution of the mapped reads

Source: R/distribution_mapped_reads.R
plot_mapped_reads_distribution.Rd

This function creates a boxplot or a densityplot to show the distribution of the mapped reads in different samples. This function can be used to assess the quality of the samples. Samples which show roughly the same distribution have good quality.

Usage

plot_mapped_reads_distribution(
  screenR_Object,
  palette = NULL,
  alpha = 1,
  type = "boxplot"
)

Arguments

screenR_Object

The ScreenR object obtained using the create_screenr_object.

palette

The color vector that as to be used for the plot.

alpha

A value for the opacity of the plot. Allowed values are in the range 0 to 1

type

The type of plot. The default is "boxplot" the other option is "density."

Value

Return a tibble containing the number of mapped read for each sample

Examples

object <- get0("object", envir = asNamespace("ScreenR"))

# Boxplot
plot_mapped_reads_distribution(object)


# Density
plot_mapped_reads_distribution(object, type = "density")


plot_mapped_reads_distribution(object, type = "density", alpha = 0.2)
