Analysis Packages
sample-to-sample comparisons
2 groups of samples: differential expression analysis
gene ontology for the obtained gene lists
visualization and reporting: sample-to-sample scatterplots, similarity indexes, volcano plots, box plots/violin plots for important groups of genes
10-25 samples, 3-5 groups of samples
differential expression analysis between sample groups
gene ontology for the obtained gene lists
quality control by calculating similarity index
visualization and reporting: volcano plots, box plots/violin plots for important groups of genes, sample-to-sample scatterplots, tables of significant gene lists and corresponding gene ontology terms, similarity index tables, samples-outliers are emphasized in separate plots if found.
>25 samples, >5 groups of samples
differential expression genes between groups of samples
gene ontology for the obtained gene lists
representation of samples in low-dimensional space
visualization and reporting: tables of significant gene lists and corresponding gene ontology terms, box plots/violin plots for important groups of genes, reduced-dimensionality scatterplots with samples represented as points, volcano plots provided only if needed.
individual cell analysis, >1,000 cells
cells clustering and identification
differential expression
gene ontology
visualization and reporting: tables of significant gene lists, tables of gene clusters and cells, heatmaps, box plots/violin plots for important groups of genes, reduced-dimensionality scatterplots (tSNE).
>90 samples, >2-3 groups of samples
multivariate biomarker search: in some cases a few genes or proteins are enough to clearly distinguish between groups of samples. In case of disease vs control group this indicates availability of diagnostic biomarker for the disease. This analysis is recommended for human blood proteomics.
visualization and reporting: tables of most indicative genes/proteins with formulas/rules how biomarker is created, box plots/violin plots for obtained multivariate biomarker(s), basic analysis of gene/protein list.
from clinical or laboratory experiment
clusters of highly correlated genes
gene ontology for the obtained gene lists
differential expression and similarity index are provided if reasonable for specific dataset
representation of samples in low-dimensional scatterplots with trajectories
visualization and reporting: tables of significant gene lists and corresponding gene ontology terms, time-series plots, box plots/violin plots for important groups of genes, gene-to-gene scatterplots with samples represented as points, with and without trajectories.
