Heatmaps

Visualise metabolite, protein and gene data on color heatmaps
Martin A. Fitzpatrick

Introduction

Heatmaps are a common graphical representation of data where relative values are representation as colors on a graduated scale. In a biological context they are commonly used to show up and down-regulation of genes.

This plugin allows for visualisation of both raw concentration and transformed fold-change or log2 data for genes, proteins, metabolites and any other measured entity. Pre-defined maps are offered, built on the incorporated MetaCyc database to address broad questions. Alternatively, custom maps may be built by adding/removing entities or defining classification groups. Entities can also be fed in from other analysis (e.g. the output of the data mining plugin).

Alternate scales are provided for convenience showing change on a low:high scale with blue:red or red:green.

Quick start

Select source data to generate a heatmap. Multiple data types are supported including raw data or processed/analysed data outputs. The data source can be selected through the data input interface. Using the same interface you can also optionally select a set of entities to visualise, or select them manually from the primary data source. @end
