Add gene names for significant genes in volcano plot (CummeRbund)

Question

[biopat]

Hi all,

I generated a volcano plot with CummeRbund. Now I want to label the significant genes with the gene names. How can this be done?

Thanks!

Could you please also post.. 1) head of your data 2) code used so far

Just the basic command

csVolcano(genes(object = cuff_data), x = 'Sample1', y = 'Sample2', alpha=0.05, showSignificant=TRUE)

This is the basic code:

csVolcano(object, x, y, alpha=0.05, showSignificant=TRUE,features=FALSE, xlimits = c(-20, 20), ... )

So, why is yours different? Why do you use

csVolcano(genes(cuff_data, ...

Also, perhaps include features=false if you didn't set the feature-level data?

Did you already try using basic R plotting functions like arrows and text?
