Thank you Raquel!
I've updated it according to your suggestion.
But while testing, I found that the FDR calculated by edgeR can be 0 which leads to Inf in y-axis. To avoid that problem, I replaced the 0 FDR with a very low value (100 times smaller than the minimum non-zero FDR).
I'm not sure whether that's also a problem with DESeq2, but I did the same for it just in case there is any 0 padj.
Please refer to this commit
Hi! I realised that the volcano plot function not always plots the most significant genes. The reasons of this limitation are the xlim and ylim parameters from EnhancedVolcano() [lines 82 and 85 visualization.R script]. I modified the xlim and ylim parameters with something like:
extract x/y limits based on the log2FC and padj values from results DESeq2 table
redefine xlim and ylim graph coordinates
EnhancedVolcano(..., xlim = c(-log2FC_lim-1, log2FC_lim+1), ylim = c(0, padj_lim), ...)
This worked for me using DESeq2. In this way, the user will always get the most significant genes annotated in the volcano plot.
Thank you for your very useful tool.
All the best, Raquel
