TOmicsVis: An all‐in‐one transcriptomic analysis and visualization R package with Shinyapp interface

Abstract

AbstractTranscriptomic analysis has been widely used in comparative experiments to uncover biological mechanisms in various species. However, a simple tool is still lacking to optimize and integrate the features from multiple R packages. In this study, we developed TOmicsVis (Transcriptomics Visualization) (CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/package=TOmicsVis, v2.0.0), an R package that provides a comprehensive solution for transcriptomics analysis and visualization. It utilizes 46 R packages to design 40 suitable functions for the streamlined analysis of multigroup transcriptomic projects, which covers six main categories: Sample Statistics, Traits Analysis, Differential Expression, Advanced Analysis, GO and KEGG Enrichment, and Table Operation. TOmicsVis can be performed either locally or online (https://shiny.hiplot.cn/tomicsvis-shiny/), which provides significant convenience for researchers without coding training. These user‐friendly visualization functions and built‐in analysis capabilities enable researchers to monitor experimental data dynamics promptly and explore transcriptomics data quickly.
