format gene names to look pretty in table output

This function works by grouping long lists of genes into groups of a specified size. Each group is collapsed using commas, while groups are separated by spaces so that datatable formatting is tricked into separating space-separated groups and not comma-separated groups

Usage

format_genes(g, sep = "\\/", genes.per.line = 6)

Arguments

g

vector of gene names

sep

gene name separator

genes.per.line

number of genes to show in a line
