Relative Expression Functions

Functions for computing and plotting relative expression profiles using PhyloExpressionSet S7 objects.

Computes the relative expression profile for a given gene expression matrix. The relative expression is calculated by normalizing the column means of the matrix to a [0, 1] scale.

Usage

relative_expression(count_matrix)

Arguments

count_matrix

A numeric matrix where columns represent developmental stages/cell types and rows represent genes.

Value

A numeric vector of relative expression values for each stage (column) in the input matrix.
