Marker genes discovery with COMETSC

This function executes a ubuntu docker for cometsc (https://github.com/MSingerLab/COMETSC)

cometsc(
  group = c("sudo", "docker"),
  file,
  scratch.folder,
  threads = 1,
  X = 0.15,
  K = 2,
  counts = c("True", "False"),
  skipvis = c("True", "False"),
  nCluster,
  separator
)

Arguments

group,	a character string. Two options: sudo or docker, depending to which group the user belongs
file,	a character string indicating the path of the file, with file name and extension included
scratch.folder,	temporary folder where calculation is made
threads,	integer refering to the max number of process run in parallel default 1 max the number of clusters under analysis, i.e. nCluster
X,	from 0 to 1 argument for XL-mHG default 0.15, for more info see cometsc help.
K,	the number of gene combinations to be considered., possible values 2, 3, 4, default 2. WARNING increasing the number of combinations makes the matrices very big
counts,	if set to True it will graph the log(expression+1). To be used if unlogged data are provided
skipvis,	set to True to skip visualizations
nCluster,	number of interested cluster used for analysis
separator,	separator used in count file, e.g. '\t', ','

Value

folders with prefix output. More info in output at https://hgmd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Output.html
