Question

[sooni]

Hello.

I drew the volcano plto using the ggplot2 and ggrepel packages. The following is a volcano plot I drew.

I want to remove the lines shown in the figure above. How can I do it?

Thank you for help!

The plot looks confusing, check the documentation there is an attribute called force. If you reduce the value you should get better results. For removing the line you have to play around with this attribute:

min.segment.length Skip drawing segments shorter than this, as unit or number. Defaults to 0.5. (Default unit is lines, but other units can be specified by passing unit(x, "units")).

There is a dedicated package for this, see - https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/EnhancedVolcano.html
