UpSetR Shiny App!

Jit — Fri, 14 Apr 2017 06:19:54 -0500

UpSetR generates static UpSet plots. The UpSet technique visualizes set intersections in a matrix layout and introduces aggregates based on groupings and queries. The matrix layout enables the effective representation of associated data, such as the number of elements in the aggregates and intersections, as well as additional summary statistics derived from subset or element attributes.

To begin, input your data using one of the three input styles.

"File" takes a correctly formatted.csv file.
"List" takes up to 6 different lists that contain unique elements, similar to that used in the web applications BioVenn (Hulsen et al., 2008) and jvenn (Bardou et al., 2014)
"Expression" takes the input used by the venneuler R package (Wilkinson, 2015)

Best book Titles for Learning Bionformatics

Rahul Agarwal — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 17:31:51 -0500

Nothing can add to our intellect more than reading a book. In books, we can experience new things that we would not normally be able to experience. It is proved that books can change our lives and other people’s lives. Reading can make us more intelligent, updated, imaginative. Without reading we wouldn’t know anything that we know today. There are several book, online and offile to read and I can't mentioned all of them here in the list. Therefore, I mentioned some bioinformatics and its related books in subgroups. Hope you will like the list.
