Returns a ggplot containing the genes within a specified genomic region. The function uses database connections to EnsDb.Hsapiens.v75 (hg19/GRCh37) or EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86 (hg38/GRCh38) to identify genes within the specified region, and uses the ggbio package to create the plot.
Usage
gg_geneplot(chr, start, end, genome_build = "GRCh38", max_levels = 5)
Arguments
- chr
Integer - chromosome
- start
Integer - starting position for region of interest
- end
Integer - ending position for region of interest
- genome_build
Character - genome build - one of "GRCh37" or "GRCh38"
- max_levels
Integer - maximum number of levels for gene tracks
Value
A ggplot object containing a plot of genes within the region of interest
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
gg_geneplot(1, 170054349 - 1e6, 170054349 + 1e6, "GRCh37")
} # }
