Customizing Boxplots in ggplot: Solving Common Issues with Faceting, Jittering, and Scaling
To solve this problem, we will need to modify the ggplot code for several things: Dodge the error bars: Because the error bars are on top of each other, we need to dodge them using position_dodge. We also need to specify the width and size correctly. Add faceting for the Gene variable: This will allow us to compare the boxplots by clone across different genes. Create a jittered x-axis: We can create a jittered x-axis using position_jitter so that the points are not on top of each other.
