is it possible to compare gene expression of one selected group vs another?

[inodb]

e.g. i made these two groups:

Is it possible to compare expression of a single gene in these two groups. Or only both groups vs all other cells?

Argh... most important feature request, but I have so little time...

No right now it only compares between the selection and the rest. If you suggest a good user interface how we could show one selection versus another selection, I'll implement it one day... or you could try...

A dirty but workable solution, also not very expensive: — add menu items, exclusive to each other: “compare against the rest“ (default on), “compare against custom selection“ — if user selects “compare against custom selection”, then current selection is remembered for the 2nd violin plot generation — to reset, you select “compare against the rest” and previous selection is discarded

What do you think?

I can try to implement it next week, if you think it's a good idea @maximilianh

This is an awesome idea Nikolay! I wanted to write this right away. If you don’t implement it soon, I will. No idea why it never occurred to me...

Should we close this? If anyone has a more elegant solution, I'm happy to work on it.

I am also thinking about violin plot by clusters somewhere…

I think we can close this for now. I don't have a more elegant solution. Thanks for adding it!
