Description

Analogous to #156, at some point

  • make volcano and dotplot a different function
  • make clear what is computed by the tool and what on-the-fly
  • more compact representation for dotplot, potentially a heatmap could work.
  • speed up:
    • use implementation of fisher's test that approximates using chi-square when sample size is large enough
    • should be trivial to parallelize

Research direction

Start by locating the current clonotype_imbalance implementation and comparing it with analogous issue #156. Define the separation between volcano and dotplot, document which values are computed by the tool versus on the fly, and evaluate the proposed heatmap, Fisher test approximation, and parallelization; done requires agreement on these design decisions and their implementation.
