For further details about the original technique see the UpSet website. You can also check out the UpSetR shiny app. Here is the source code for the shiny wrapper.

A Python package called py-upset to create UpSet plots has been created by GitHub user ImSoErgodic.

Advantages of R

• Free!
• Powerful, many libraries have been created to perform application specific tasks. e.g. analysis of microarray experiments and Next-Gen sequencing (bioconductor: including Bioseq group).
• Presentation quality graphics
  • Save as a png, pdf or svg
• History
  • What you do can be saved for the next time you use R.
  • Ability to turn it into an automated script to perform again and again on different data

Disadvantages

• Lack of a comprehensive graphical user interface, but two do exist: However some do exist: R commander: http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/ and Limma-gui (microarrays) : http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limmaGUI/

Preparation

• (Optional) Download and save the tutorial data set from
  • http://bioinformatics.knowledgeblog.org/wp-content/uploads/bioinf/kerr/data.tsv
  • Start R (type R on a Linux or Mac terminal, or find the starting link from PC)

Getting More Help

• Project Home page
  • http://www.r-project.org/
  • Check out the ‘introduction to R’, which is a much more in depth guide .
  • Also R has a built-in help system (see later)

Working directory

This is the directory used to store your data and results. It is useful if it is also the directory where your input data is stored.

• Mac/Linux: this is the directory where you typed in R
• PC: Change using the change working directory option

The next-generation sequencing included whole genome sequencing(WGS), transcriptome sequencing (whole cDNA sequencing, RNA-seq), digital gene expression sequencing (Tag-Seq), ChIP-Seq, and so on. And there are many sequencing platform to generate sequece, as well know Sanger/ABi(the frist generation), Solexa/illumina, SOLiD/ABi, 454/Roche. But thier sequence format is different, also they have different error type. High quality data is very important for further analysis or data mining. There are many pipeline for raw sequence quality analysis and control with few of process for reporting reads quality statistical details, trimming, filtering, and error correction. Please bookmarks them for the benefits of bioinformatics community.

Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB) invites applications for the following three faculty scientist positions:

Scientist E-II or F in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology

SCIENTIST E-II OR F IN COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY & BIOINFORMATICS

Highly motivated and innovative individual who will pursue basic research, solve biological problems with emphasis on computational and quantitative experimental methods and build active bridges to translational research. The scientist will also provide computational biology support to ongoing research programs in disease biology, provide assistance to analyze complex data sets generated by RGCB scientists and collaborators inclusive of including high dimensional “omics” data and next generation sequencing data, such as whole genome, exome, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq as well as provide leadership for high quality training for junior scientists and regular teaching programs of the institute. Areas of research of interest to RGCB include but are not limited to computational, systems, or quantitative biology with applications to cell biology, developmental biology, metabolism, genomics, proteomics, biophysics, biological information systems, network pharmacology, drug design and cancer research. The scientist’s responsibilities include efforts for the integration of DNA variant annotation with statistical genetic analysis methods including linkage, imputation and association methods, adopting novel and innovative methodologies to analyze, integrate and interpret high dimensional data sets, provision of annotation to robust genetics and genomics findings using several data sources and methods, data management of exploratory clinical and R&D studies in partnership with other lines of genetic data generated from internal and external studies, delivery and documentation of genomic information to support genetic studies, ensuring high-quality genetic and genomic data is incorporated into exploratory- clinical research programs, developing tools that make maximum use of multiple data sources to support annotation of DNA variation and contributes to systems biology initiatives within RGCB
