Hi,
I am trying to create a heatmap of differentially expressed lncRNAs in normal, atypical, dcis, and invasive breast cancer patient samples. I have created a heatmap from the counts file but it creates a color map based of the counts of highest or lowest expressed RNAs not in that specific row but in general. So a specific lncRNA is expressed 100 times in cancer, but that lncRNA is only expressed 20 times in normal, it still shows blue as a color becausec some other lncRNA represented in a different row is expressed a 1000 times. I want to create a color map where the color coordinates to the expression of that specific RNA in that row across the different conditions. So a specific lncRNA is expressed 100 times in cancer, but that lncRNA is only expressed 20 times in normal, it should show red for cancer vs blue for normal. Basically, I want the scale or the heatmap be relative to each row across the four different conditions for one lncRNA. Any help is appreciated.

The heatmap scales on your data. What you need to do is to log10 scale the fold difference.
