locuszoomr 0.3.8
26/02/2025
- Fixed handling of tibbles.
 
locuszoomr 0.3.7
05/02/2025
New features
- Added 
recomb_offset argument to enable y offset to
shift scatter points up slightly away from the recombination line to
reduce the overlap. Works with both locus_plot() and
locus_ggplot(). 
- Added 
ylim and ylim2 arguments to
scatter_plot() and gg_scatter() to make it
easier to set y axis and secondary y axis (recombination line) limits in
locus_plot() and locus_ggplot(). 
Important change
- Changed the order of 
data and gene
arguments in locus() since most users specify the data
object first. 
Fixes
- Fixed 
ylim issue affecting secondary y axis with
recombination line. 
locuszoomr 0.3.6
09/01/2025
- Add option to show gene names in italics.
 
- Added citation.
 
locuszoomr 0.3.5
15/09/2024
- Fixed vignette issues causing CRAN check errors.
 
locuszoomr 0.3.4
06/09/2024
New features
- Added full support for point shapes in
gg_scatter(). 
Fixes
- Fix for alignment of 
eqtl_plot() with locus plots with
recombination rate. 
- Bugfix for recombination rate axis title font size.
 
- Bugfix beta symbols in 
gg_scatter(). 
- Fixes to legends in 
gg_scatter(). 
locuszoomr 0.3.2
18/08/2024
- Fix for SNPs with chromosome coordinate format in
link_LD() (only works with LDproxy
method). 
- Fix for non-human ensembl databases e.g. mouse in
locus(). 
- Record ensembl version, organism and genome in locus objects.
 
- Bugfix: give an error message if gene is not found in ensembl
database in 
locus(). 
locuszoomr 0.3.1
28/06/2024
- Add toggle for using webGL in 
scatter_plotly(). 
- Add height control in plotly functions.
 
locuszoomr 0.3.0
16/04/2024
- Allow 
index_snp to be a vector to highlight more than 1
SNP per region (suggested by Luke Pilling). 
- Altered default colour scheme.
 
- Multiple improvements to plotly version.
 
- Added option to use the much faster 
LDproxy in
link_LD(). This is now the default option. 
- Added support for plotting loci with eQTL data to show multiple
genes in different colours.
 
- Added ability to overlay up/down pointing triangles to show sign of
beta coefficient for significant SNPs.
 
- Added highlighting of selected genes with individual colours in the
gene tracks in 
locus_plot(), locus_ggplot(),
genetracks() and gg_genetracks(). 
- Enable use of downloadable recombination rate track files from UCSC
in 
link_recomb(), which is much faster when plotting
multiple loci. 
locuszoomr 0.2.1
17/02/2024
- Added labels to 
locus_ggplot() and
gg_scatter() (thanks to Tom Willis). 
- Improved error handling in 
link_recomb() 
- Ensure index SNP is plotted on top in 
locus_plot() and
locus_ggplot(). 
- In 
scatter_plot() arguments chromCol and
sigCol are replaced by scheme which now allows
setting of the index SNP colour. 
locuszoomr 0.2.0
21/12/2023
New features
- Improved ggplot2 gene track plotting via
gg_genetracks() to enable easy layering of several ggplot2
plots above a row of gene tracks (thanks to nickhir for the
suggestion). 
- For those that only want the gene tracks for their own plots, this
is now easier by simply not specifying 
data (or setting it
to NULL) when calling locus(). 
- Added function 
quick_peak() for quickly finding peaks
in GWAS datasets. 
- Added function 
link_recomb() for retrieving
recombination data from UCSC. 
- Recombination rate is shown on a secondary y axis by
locus_plot() and locus_ggplot(). 
- Added 
... to link_LD() and
link_eqtl() to allow passing of additional arguments such
as genome_build to LDlinkR queries. 
Changes
- Argument 
LDtoken in link_LD() and
link_eqtl() has been renamed token to be
consistent with LDlinkR. 
Bugfixes
- Fixed bug when plotting LD with absent levels in
locus_ggplot() and locus_plotly(). 
- Fixed plots with no gene tracks (thanks to Tom Willis).
 
- Genes with missing gene symbols now display the ensembl gene
ID.

03/11/2023
- Added arrows to the gene tracks in 
locus_plotly() 
- Fixed bug relating 
yzero argument in scatter plots 
- Improved labelling
 
- Fixed CRAN ERROR relating to package EnsDb.Hsapiens.v75 in
Suggests
 
locuszoomr 0.1.2
