Today we finished the first version of Hera-T, a new single-cell RNA-seq quantification algorithm. We developed Hera-T by improving challenging alignment errors that Cell Ranger has. As a result, Hera-T is more accurate than Cell Ranger. Hera-T is more than 10 times faster than Cell Ranger, while consuming just a small amount of […]
Heatmaps. We see them all over the scientific journals — the shading matrices that convey meaningful stories. Wanna interpret gene expressions? Draw a heatmap. Gotta examine the correlation among variables? Get it done with a heatmap. It seems that the shading has breathed such life into those cheerless matrices of […]
Venn diagram is an excellent tool to visualize the relationship among sets. Ideally, the sizes of the circles and their overlapping area should be proportional to the relationship they convey. It is, however, quite a challenge to create a proportional Venn diagram. No worries: With BioVinci, you can get this job done […]
Heatmap, heatmap everywhere. They are an intuitive way to visualize information from complex data. You see them showing gene expression, phylogenetic distance, metabolomic profiles, and a whole lot more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to perform hierarchical clustering and produce a heatmap with your data using BioVinci. It’s […]
When your data span a large range, the graphs tend to get ugly. Values either crowd at the bottom or spread out at the top — a problem called poor resolution. The rate of changes is hard to display, since the graph usually has a very long tail, or a very […]
When it comes to presenting data, visuals are your friend, or so we all heard. Tables are better than large blocks of text and numbers. Graphs and charts are better than tables. Then it becomes irresistible to enliven your graphs and charts with colors, patterns, grid lines, labels, and the […]
Massive amounts of biological data are emerging everyday, waiting to be deciphered. There is almost no way to analyze and visualize them without writing complex code. As a biologist, you may not find it an optimal use of your time to develop such code from scratch. That is why we […]
