Comparison of Merging and Meta-Analysis as Alternative Approaches for Integrative Gene Expression Analysis
Figure 3
Different boxplots for ADRB1 gene. On the left we have two boxplots for the merged data set without batch effect removal (NONE) and on the right for the merged data set with batch effect removal (COMBAT). All boxplots are grouped and colored based on the target biological variable of interest; the boxplots on top are further grouped per original data set. The figure is generated using the plotGeneWiseBoxPlot function from the inSilicoMerging R/Bioconductor package [25].
