This is a convenience function that quickly plots known sexually dimorphic genes, and overall gene experssion for the X and Y chromosomes.

Usage

plotGenderMarkers(object, ...)

# S4 method for SingleCellExperiment
plotGenderMarkers(object, ...)

# S4 method for SummarizedExperiment
plotGenderMarkers(object, style = "wide", ...)

Arguments

object

Object.

...

Passthrough to plotCounts(), with the genes argument automatically defined.

style

character(1). Plot style.

Value

ggplot.

Note

Currently only Homo sapiens and Mus musculus genomes are supported.
