as in Bakken et al. (2017 PMID 29322913) create gene signatures for k cell types, each of which fails to express all but one gene in a set of k genes

cyclicSigset(
  idvec,
  conds = c("hasExp", "lacksExp"),
  tags = paste0("CL:X", 1:length(idvec))
)

Arguments

idvec: character vector of identifiers, must have names() set to identify cells bearing genes
conds: character(2) tokens used to indicate condition to which signature element contributes
tags: character vector of cell-type identifiers; for Cell Ontology use CL: as prefix, one element for each element of idvec

Value

a long data.frame

Examples

sigels = c("CL:X01"="GRIK3", "CL:X02"="NTNG1", "CL:X03"="BAGE2", 
        "CL:X04"="MC4R", "CL:X05"="PAX6", "CL:X06"="TSPAN12", "CL:X07"="hSHISA8", 
     "CL:X08"="SNCG", "CL:X09"="ARHGEF28", "CL:X10"="EGF")
sigdf = cyclicSigset(sigels)
head(sigdf)
