Normalized/Raw data mishap on the report

[rekren]

Description of the bug

Hi there,
I am using nf-core/differentialabundance v.1.5.0.

It seems that in the "Exploratory analysis" section of the "Results" part, Raw values and Normalized values needs to replace each other.
It looks like they are switched by mistake of the generated Rmarkdown code.

here are the representative plots of the generated -suspiciously- looking plots.

Command used and terminal output

nextflow run nf-core/differentialabundance -r 1.5.0 --input dif_ab_samplesheet.csv --matrix outs/merged_gene_counts_table.tsv --transcript_length_matrix outs/merged_gene_lengths_table.tsv --contrasts dif_ab_contrast.csv --gtf /home/rekren/save/refs/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.111.gtf.gz -profile genotoul --outdir DiffAbundance --report_author 'Rüçhan Ekren' --logo_file inf_logo_smaller.png --report_title 'Report' --report_description ' Explanation of the report' --shinyngs_build_app --report_scree

@pinin4fjords and Oskar Wacker checked the label assignments with the test data on test profile, everything seemed good.

I have tested with another dataset and also tested with nf-core/differential_abundance v1.4.
They were seeming appropriately assigning the assay names.
I think everything is indeed in order and this was only visual "mishap".
For the above figures when I check the actual png figures they were looking a bit better than the rendered plots of the report.

For this specific dataset, I believe data plots shrunken a little bit more than usual and made us question the correctness of the labels on the report rendering part .

Closing the issue with this comments.
