Align gene clusters

This function aligns clusters based on a specified gene id. The clusters are shifted so the gene sits at the same place in each of them, and all clusters keep the same scale: genes of the same length are drawn at the same width. The alignment is kept when GC_scale() is called afterwards, also with axis_type = "range".

Usage

GC_align(GC_chart, id_column, id, align = "left")

Arguments

Argument	Description
GC_chart	A chart object containing genomic data along with clustering information.
id_column	The name of the column that contains the gene identifiers.
id	The specific identifier of the gene to be aligned.
align	The alignment method for the gene. Valid values are "left", "right", or "center". Defaults to "left".

Value

The modified GC_chart object with updated genomic coordinates.

Examples

genes_data <- data.frame(
  start = c(10, 90, 130, 170, 210),
  end = c(40, 120, 160, 200, 240),
  name = c('Gene 1', 'Gene 2', 'Gene 3', 'Gene 4', 'Gene 5'),
  group = c('A', 'B', 'C', 'C', 'A'),
  cluster =  c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2)
)


GC_chart(genes_data, group = "group", cluster = "cluster", height = "150px") %>%
  GC_align("group", "A", align = "left") %>%
  GC_legend(FALSE)
