Violin plots of differential gene expression/ratio in primary, metastatic tumors vs adjacent normal tissues

Source: R/DEG.R

This function should not be used directly, only inside .plot_boxgraph_RNAseq_TCGA() or .plot_boxgraph_RNAratio_TCGA() function.

Side effect: (1) the violin plots on screen and as pdf file to show differential gene expression/ratio in primary, metastatic tumors vs adjacent normal tissues from all combined TCGA cancer types

.violinplot(df, y.axis.title, y.axis.break, dashline)

Arguments

df

output dataset generated from .RNAseq_tumortype() or .RNAratio_tumortype() function

y.axis.title

the title name for y axis

y.axis.break

the break mark on the y axis

dashline

the position of horizontal reference line
