splots

splots visualizes high-throughput genomic and molecular biology data by generating plots that reflect the spatial arrangement of samples on microtitre plates and slides to aid interpretation.


Key Features:

  • plotScreen Functionality: The plotScreen function maps dataset values to the physical layout of microtitre plates or slides and renders corresponding visualizations.
  • R-based plotting: Implements plotting in the R statistical programming environment to produce high-quality graphical representations.
  • Bioconductor integration: Packaged for Bioconductor to enable interoperability with other Bioconductor packages.
  • Formal review and testing: Subject to Bioconductor's initial review and continuous automated testing frameworks.

Scientific Applications:

  • Genomic Data Analysis: Visualizes gene expression patterns, mutation frequencies, and other genomic measurements across plate or slide layouts.
  • Molecular Biology Experiments: Visualizes results from high-throughput assays such as drug screening assays across multiple conditions.
  • Standardized visualization: Provides plate- and slide-formatted visualizations to support comparative analysis across experimental modalities.

Methodology:

Provides the plotScreen function implemented in R as a Bioconductor package to map sample coordinates onto microtitre plate and slide layouts and generate plots.
