Correlation matrix for CNV values

generates correlation matrix for eIF4F CNV in tumors from all TCGA cancer type combined

.plot_matrix_CNVcorr_TCGA(gene_list)

Arguments

gene_list

gene names in a vector of characters

Details

This function

• selects a subset of unthreshold CNV values of only EIF4F gene from the data frame TCGA_CNV_value - a global variable generated from initialize_cnv_data().

• uses the subset data to calculate the correlation coefficients between every two genes and plot the correlation matrix with the function .matrix_plot()

This function is not accessible to the user and will not show at the users' workspace. It can only be called by the exported EIF4F_CNV_analysis() function.

side effect: the correlation matrix plot on screen and as saved pdf files to show co-occurrence of gene_list CNV status in TCGA tumors

Examples

if (FALSE) {
plot_matrix_CNVcorr_TCGA(c("EIF4A1", "EIF4E", "EIF4EBP1", "EIF4G1"))
