Upset plots !

BioStar — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 22:30:23 -0500

Upset plots are a type of visualization used to analyze the intersection of sets or categories. They are particularly useful for displaying data with multiple categories and analyzing their overlaps.

In an upset plot, each row represents a category or set, and each column represents a data point. The length of the bar for each category indicates the number of data points that belong to that category. The plot also shows the intersections between categories, represented by overlapping bars.

Upset plots are useful for visualizing complex data with multiple categories and intersections, and can help identify patterns and relationships between categories. They are often used in fields such as bioinformatics, where they can be used to analyze gene expression data or to compare the results of different experimental conditions.

BioKit: a set of tools dedicated to bioinformatics, data visualisation

Neel — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 02:04:39 -0500

BioKit is a set of tools dedicated to bioinformatics, data visualisation (biokit.viz), access to online biological data (e.g. UniProt, NCBI thanks to bioservices). It also contains more advanced tools related to data analysis (e.g., biokit.stats). Since R is quite common in bioinformatics, we also provide a convenient module to run R inside your Python scripts or shell (:mod:biokit.rtools module).
