A wrapper function which visualizes outputs from the runTSCANDEG function. Plots the top genes that increase in expression with increasing pseudotime along the path in the MST

plotTSCANPseudotimeHeatmap(inSCE, pathIndex, topN = 50)

Arguments

inSCE

Input SingleCellExperiment object.

pathIndex

Path number for which the pseudotime values should be used. PathIndex corresponds to one path from the root node to one of the terminal nodes.

topN

An integer. Only to plot this number of top genes along the path in the MST, in terms of log2FC value. Use NULL to cancel the top N subscription. Default 50.

Value

A plot with the top genes that increase in expression with increasing pseudotime along the path in the MST.
