1 - Select a quantitative track

NONE selected

2 - Choose graph type

Quartiles & extremes

All genes and genomic intervals are tiled together, genes are always from 5' to 3', relative to their strands. Track data of each gene are summarized into fixed length vectors, and median value over each data point is plotted.

Number of data points

Line width median curve image width height
other curves use lighter color
plot average values

Spaghetti

One line is plotted for each gene or item, genes are always from 5' to 3', relative to their strands. Track data of each gene and item are summarized into equal length vectors.

Number of data points

Line width line color image width height

Gene parts

Profiles of gene parts (3 kb promoter, 5' UTR, exons, introns, 3' UTR) will be plotted as separate curves, in the same fashion as first plot type (only applies to genes, genomic coordinates will be skipped)

Number of data points for each segment type

Line width image width height

promoter 5' UTR exons introns 3' UTR

Above colors are for median curves. Lighter color will be used for other curves. whisker range outlier ?
plot average values

Clustering

Run hierarchical or K-means clustering analysis on genes, and explore result through its interactive features.

Number of data points

Clustering method

distance metric agglomeration number of clusters

Row height plot width of data points
use global min/max positive value negative value (white for zero baseline)

3 - Choose rendering method

- R software generates box plots in form of still PNG images
- Google Chart generates interative line plots

You don't need to make selection for this type of graph

Firefox user: after first time using this function, the image is probably not updating anymore. This is because your browser is doing a too good job caching stuff. Follow this note to turn off caching so you can see the image updating.
If you don't see the image after clicking 'Make plot' button, it's likely that you're running into 'URL too long' problem. Try reducing number of genes and/or number of data points and do again.
