Hi, I have a DEGs file (DEAdf) with log2FC and padjust. I am trying to look at significant dowreguated and upregulated genes in enhanced volcano plot according to my cutoff. To visulize the up and down regulated genes, I customized them into different colors (keyvals), but it only came out with 2 colors.

I attached my code below:

> keyvals <- ifelse(
>         (DEAdf$log2FC>1& DEAdf$padjust>=0.05) | (DEAdf$log2FC<-1&DEAdf$padjust>=0.05) , 'forestgreen',
>         ifelse(
>                 DEAdf$log2FC<-1 & DEAdf$padjust<0.05, 'royalblue',
>                 ifelse(
>                         DEAdf$log2FC >1 & DEAdf$padjust<0.05, 'red2',       
>                         ifelse(
>                                 DEAdf$log2FC >= -1 & DEAdf$log2FC <= 1 & DEAdf$padjust<0.05 ,'yellow',  
>         'grey30'))))

> names(keyvals)[keyvals == 'grey30'] <- 'No significant'

> names(keyvals)[keyvals == 'royalblue'] <- 'Adjusted p-value & Log2 FC
> <-1' names(keyvals)[keyvals == 'red2'] <- 'Adjusted p-value & Log2 FC
> > 1'

I think my keyvals have some problems:

keyvals= ifelse(
        DEAdf$log2FC>1& DEAdf$padjust<0.05, 'red2',
        ifelse(
                DEAdf$log2FC<-1 & DEAdf$padjust<0.05, 'royalblue',
                ifelse(
                        DEAdf$log2FC<=-1 & DEAdf$padjust>=0.05, 'forestgreen', 
                        ifelse(
                                DEAdf$log2FC>=-1 & DEAdf$padjust<0.05, 'yellow',
        'grey30'))))

The problem is likely with if statements like this:

DEAdf$log2FC < -1 & DEAdf$padjust<0.05, 'royalblue',

You would have to instead write:

DEAdf$log2FC < (1 * -1) & DEAdf$padjust < 0.05, 'royalblue',

Otherwise, R interprets the <- as an assingation.

Edit:

To clarify, user has used DEAdf$log2FC<-1 ..., which will cause an error. Either of these will work fine:

DEAdf$log2FC < -1 ...
DEAdf$log2FC<(-1) ...

You don't need to do all that to ensure that R can disambiguate between assignment and comparison. Simply being careful to add spaces at the right place, which is good coding practice anyway, will do the same.

> 3 < -1
[1] FALSE
> 3<-1
Error in 3 <- 1 : invalid (do_set) left-hand side to assignment

So cleaning up the code like this

keyvals <-  ifelse(
        DEAdf$log2FC > 1 & DEAdf$padjust < 0.05, 'red2',
        ifelse(
                DEAdf$log2FC < -1 & DEAdf$padjus < 0.05, 'royalblue',
                ifelse(
                        DEAdf$log2FC <= -1 & DEAdf$padjust >= 0.05, 'forestgreen', 
                        ifelse(
                                DEAdf$log2FC >= -1 & DEAdf$padjust < 0.05, 'yellow',
        'grey30'))))

Is A) much more readable, and B) will actually do what the OP wants.

Thank you, guys, I made it. Just did a little modification from James' Code. (DEAdf$log2FC <= -1 & DEAdf$padjust >= 0.05)|(DEAdf$log2FC >=1 & DEAdf$padjust >= 0.05), 'forestgreen', 

keyvals <-  ifelse(
        DEAdf$log2FC > 1 & DEAdf$padjust < 0.05, 'red2',
        ifelse(
                DEAdf$log2FC < -1 & DEAdf$padjus < 0.05, 'royalblue',
                ifelse(
                        (DEAdf$log2FC <= -1 & DEAdf$padjust >= 0.05)|(DEAdf$log2FC >=1 & DEAdf$padjust >= 0.05), 'forestgreen', 
                        ifelse(
                                DEAdf$log2FC >= -1 & DEAdf$padjust < 0.05, 'yellow',
                                'grey30'))))

R won't interpret DEAdf$log2FC < -1 as an assignment ... it will correctly be parsed as a "less than -1" expression so we wouldn't have to do the DEAdf$log2FC < (1 * -1) gymnastics.

R will, however, interpret a "no space" statement as assignment, like the DEAdf$log2FC<-1 that the OP has in the original post ...

Exactly, that is the problem (although I didn't make it clear in my original answer). There is a difference between <-1 and < -1

ifelse(-2<-1, 'y', 'n')
Error in -2 <- 1 : target of assignment expands to non-language object

ifelse(-2 < -1, 'y', 'n')
[1] "y"

As of right now, I do not know what the user has tried and where
