[BioC] VennDiagram quesiont in limma

Hi Jianping,

I recently wrote a detailed response along these same lines for a client. 
It's not as elegant as Gordon's solution, but it works for me and can be 
modified for any combination you want:

The coded.results object (output from 'decideTests') has the matrix of -1, 
0 , and 1s. If BvT and AvT are the 5th and 6th columns in the coded.results 
object, you can do:

BsameAup <- which(coded.results[,5] == 1 & coded.results[,6] == 1)

This will give you a vector of row numbers you can use to subset most other 
objects that have the genes in the same order:

BsameAupgenes <- fit$genes[BsameAup,]  #remember that between [], to the 
left of the , refers to rows and to the right refers to columns

You can actually combine these two steps if you want to get fancy:

BsameAdowngenes <- fit$genes[coded.results[,5] == -1 & coded.results[,6] == 
-1 , ]

This subsetting uses TRUE/FALSE output (a conditional statement), such as 
== (equal to), != (not equal to), >, <=, etc.

BupAdown <- which(coded.results[,5] == 1,& coded.results[,6] != 1)
BchangedAnot <- which(coded.results[,5] != 0 & coded.results[,6] == 0)

In case you want to use it, the "or" equivalent of "&" is "||" (two 
straight characters, not the letter l or capital I; on my keyboard it is on 
the same key as the backslash \). You can also put more than two 
conditional statements together - just tack as many as you want using & or ||.

Cheers,
Jenny
