iSEEde 1.4.0

# 1 Example data

In this example, we use the `?airway` data set.

We briefly adjust the reference level of the treatment factor to the untreated condition.

    library("airway")
    data("airway")
    airway$dex <- relevel(airway$dex, "untrt")

# 2 Differential expression

To generate some example results, we run a standard edgeR analysis using `glmFit()` and `glmLRT()`.

The differential expression results are fetched using `topTags()`.

    library("edgeR")

    design <- model.matrix(~ 0 + dex + cell, data = colData(airway))

    fit <- glmFit(airway, design, dispersion = 0.1)
    lrt <- glmLRT(fit, contrast = c(-1, 1, 0, 0, 0))
    res_edger <- topTags(lrt, n = Inf)
    head(res_edger)

Then, we embed this set of differential expression results in the `airway` object using the `embedContrastResults()` method.

The results embedded in the airway object can be accessed using the `contrastResults()` function.

    library(iSEEde)
    airway <- embedContrastResults(res_edger, airway, name = "edgeR")
    contrastResults(airway)

# 3 Set a default rounding configuration

Differential expression methods generally return precise numeric values with several digits after the decimal point. This level of precision can be unnecessarily overwhelming and users may wish to round numeric values to a limited number of significant digits.

The builtin default configuration for rounding in iSEEde is `RoundDigit = FALSE` and `SignifDigits = 3`. In other words, numeric values are not rounded, and if users do activate the rounding functionality, numeric values are rounded to three significant digits.

Those defaults can be changed using the `panelDefaults()` function.

    panelDefaults(RoundDigits = TRUE, SignifDigits = 2L)

With the default panel settings configured, we use the `DETable()` function to display the contrast results with rounded numeric values.

    library(iSEE)
    app <- iSEE(airway, initial = list(
      DETable(ContrastName="edgeR", HiddenColumns = c("logCPM", "LR"),
              PanelWidth = 12L)
    ))

    if (interactive()) {
      shiny::runApp(app)
    }

# 4 Configuring rounding in individual panels

The default rounding configuration can be overridden in individual panel configurations.

The slots `RoundDigits` and `SignifDigits` can be set directly in the individual calls to the `DETable()` constructor function.

In the example below, we add two tables, one rounding numeric values to the default value of two significant digits set above, the other rounding the same values to three significant digits.

    library(iSEE)
    app <- iSEE(airway, initial = list(
      DETable(ContrastName="edgeR", HiddenColumns = c("logCPM", "LR"),
              PanelWidth = 6L, RoundDigits = TRUE),
      DETable(ContrastName="edgeR", HiddenColumns = c("logCPM", "LR"),
              PanelWidth = 6L, RoundDigits = TRUE, SignifDigits = 3L)
    ))

    if (interactive()) {
      shiny::runApp(app)
    }

# 5 Reproducibility

The iSEEde package (Rue-Albrecht, 2024) was made possible thanks to:

- R (R Core Team, 2024)
- BiocStyle (Oleś, 2024)
- knitr (Xie, 2024)
- RefManageR (McLean, 2017)
- rmarkdown (Allaire, Xie, Dervieux et al., 2024)
- sessioninfo (Wickham, Chang, Flight et al., 2021)
- testthat (Wickham, 2011)

This package was developed using biocthis.
