sechm

sechm provides a simple interface between SummarizedExperiment objects and the ComplexHeatmap package to enable plotting annotated heatmaps with easy access to rowData and colData columns.

Key Features:

• SummarizedExperiment integration: Enables direct use of SummarizedExperiment objects for heatmap generation without data conversion.
• Annotation access: Provides easy access to rowData and colData columns for heatmap annotations.
• Flexible heatmap generation: Implements features to make heatmap creation easier and more flexible compared to base ComplexHeatmap usage.

Scientific Applications:

• Genomic data visualization: Generates annotated heatmaps from SummarizedExperiment objects containing genomic or transcriptomic data.

Methodology:

sechm serves as an interface layer between SummarizedExperiment objects and the ComplexHeatmap package, facilitating annotated heatmap plotting with direct access to rowData and colData annotations.
