Creating Raincloud plots in R2
Imagine you're studying the levels of a particular gene's expression in different samples. Each cell type has its own level of gene expression, and you've collected this data for many samples. Now, you want to visualize this data in a single comprehensive overview. Let's do this using a raincloud plot. Dots or Raindrops: On the raincloud plot, you'll have a bunch of small dots, like raindrops, scattered along a horizontal axis. Each dot represents the gene expression level in a single sample. Samples with higher expression levels will have dots higher on the axis, and samples with lower expression levels will have dots lower on the axis. Cloud-like Shapes: The raindrops will be surrounded by cloud-like shapes. These shapes show you the distribution of the gene expression levels. If the cloud is wide and covers a large area along the axis, it means the gene expression levels are spread out across a wide range of values. If the cloud is narrow and tall, it indicates t
