Test for early conservation patterns in transcriptomic data by comparing
early developmental stages to mid and late stages.
Usage
stat_early_conservation_test(phyex_set, modules, ...)
Arguments
- phyex_set
A PhyloExpressionSet object
- modules
A named list with elements 'early', 'mid', and 'late' containing
stage indices for each developmental module
- ...
Additional arguments passed to stat_generic_conservation_test
Value
A ConservationTestResult object with early conservation test results
Details
The early conservation test evaluates whether early developmental stages show
lower transcriptomic index values (indicating older genes) compared to later
stages. The test computes a score based on the minimum difference between
mid vs. early and late vs. early TXI values.
Examples
# Define developmental modules
# modules <- list(early = 1:3, mid = 4:6, late = 7:9)
# result <- early_conservation_test(phyex_set, modules)
