Abstract

Generating heatmaps of genes datasets have been known to be a graphical representation of data where the individual values contained in a matrix are represented as colors. Herein, we describe AFCMHeatMap a shiny web App that integrates quantitative interaction genomics data and results from microarrays or RNA-Seq to highlight expression levels of various genetic datasets with a .CSV input file. The application also facilitates downloading heatmaps as a supplementary material for user's publications. Written in R using Shiny framework, it is a user-friendly framework for integrative genetic analyses that can be easily deployed across various operating systems distributions.
