Use draw_fusions.R to only output partial plots

[t-pauli]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering whether it's possible to output the plots generated by draw_fusions.R separately. I couldn't find an option for this on the script. For my use case I would like to only plot the 'Retained Protein Domains' but not the Circos Plot or Coverage Plot due to limited space and I would prefer to freely rearrange these plots. I know there are other tools to visualize fusion genes (agfusion), but I think your visualization looks very appealing, so I would rather use your output. I was able to extract the functions and modify them to only draw that plot, but if there is a new release of arriba, I might have to adapt this script again. So for me, it would be great to have an option for this available.

I was wondering whether I simply missed the option to only output the plots separately, or whether you consider it worthwhile adding such an option to the script.

Best wishes,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

This is not possible at the moment. Good suggestion, though, and not too hard to implement. I'm contemplating whether it makes more sense to have an option to plot only selected panels or an option that splits the panels over separate pages, such that you end up with multiple pages per fusion.

Any opinion?

Sebastian
