plot_genes_branched_heatmap | Create a heatmap to demonstrate the bifurcation of gene expression along two branchs @description returns a heatmap that shows changes in both lineages at the same time. It also requires that you choose a branch point to inspect. Columns are points in pseudotime, rows are genes, and the beginning of pseudotime is in the middle of the heatmap. As you read from the middle of the heatmap to the right, you are following one lineage through pseudotime. As you read left, the other. The genes are clustered hierarchically, so you can visualize modules of genes that have similar lineage-dependent expression patterns.
