This function removes genes located on the X and Y chromosomes from a DESeq2 object.
It uses the Ensembl database to identify genes on these chromosomes.
Usage
remove_xy_genes(dds, org, ...)
Arguments
- dds
A DESeq2 object containing the gene expression data
- org
The organism to use, either "human" or "mouse".
Value
A filtered DESeq2 object with XY chromosome genes removed
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# For human data
dds_filtered <- remove_xy_genes(dds, org)
# For mouse data
dds_filtered <- remove_xy_genes(dds, org = "mouse")
} # }
