Follow-up question:

I want to make the gene name bold and italic, AND make the "p" number just bold. But here's the catch: now I want the "p" number to appear as a superscript!


I am no longer clear (if I ever was) what the "p number might be, but here is my guess:

main = bquote(italic(.(x[i,1]))*bolditalic(" p")^.(as.character(x[i, 2])))

For more than a guess, post a worked example, please.

For instance: TFL1^687 (the carrot is to indicate that I actually want the "p" number as a superscript).

Thanks very much in advance!

Sincerely,
Josh Banta

Could also work inside teh .() function

for (i in 1:nrow(x)){
  plot(z <- sort(rnorm(47)), type = "s", main = "")
  points(z, cex = .5, col = "dark red")
title(main = bquote(italic(.(x[i,1]))*bold(" p")*bold(. (as.character(x[i,2])))))
  }
