InteractiVenn

InteractiVenn provides interactive set analysis and visualization using Venn diagrams to compare and explore relationships among up to six sets in biological datasets.


Key Features:

  • Interactive Venn diagram construction: Constructs interactive Venn diagrams to represent relationships among multiple sets.
  • Multi-set support: Supports visualization and analysis of up to six sets simultaneously.
  • Set union analysis: Performs guided set union analysis while preserving the Venn diagram shape, with guidance via a tree structure or a list of set unions.
  • Subset element retrieval: Retrieves elements from specific subsets and intersections for detailed examination.
  • Data management: Supports saving and loading sets for ongoing computational analysis.
  • Export options: Exports diagrams in vector and image formats for downstream use.

Scientific Applications:

  • Biological dataset analysis: Enables exploration of novel interactions between joined sets through detailed set union analysis.
  • Genomics: Applied to comparative analyses of genomic datasets to explore set overlaps and differences.
  • Proteomics: Applied to comparative analyses of proteomic datasets to reveal intersecting and exclusive components.
  • Bioinformatics: Applied across other bioinformatics contexts requiring multi-set comparison and intersection analysis.

Methodology:

Construction of Venn diagrams for up to six sets, guided set union analysis using a tree or a list of set unions while preserving diagram shape, retrieval of elements from specific subsets, and saving/loading of sets with exporting of diagrams to vector and image formats.
