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!

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])))))
   }
