Test for late conservation patterns in transcriptomic data by comparing
late developmental stages to early and mid stages.
Usage
stat_late_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 late conservation test results
Details
The late conservation test evaluates whether later developmental stages show
lower transcriptomic index values (indicating older genes) compared to earlier
stages. The test computes a score based on the minimum difference between
early vs. late and mid vs. late TXI values.
Examples
# Define developmental modules
# modules <- list(early = 1:3, mid = 4:6, late = 7:9)
# result <- late_conservation_test(phyex_set, modules)
