getCommonOrthologs Function

This function takes as input two count matrices from human and mouse and return the matrices subset to the ortholog genes

getCommonOrthologs(
  listMouse,
  listHuman,
  refMouse,
  refHuman,
  mergeFunction = mean
)

Arguments

listMouse

the genes from the mouse where we want the orthologs
listHuman

the genes from the human where we want the orthologs
refMouse

the gencode reference for mouse. Either a number (the gencode version) or the location of the file.
refHuman

the gencode reference for human. Either a number (the gencode version) or the location of the file

Details

When several genes from one species map to at least one gene from the other, we return all genes. This function is inspired adapted from
