Next-Generation Clustered Heat Maps for TCGA

The MD Anderson Genome Data Analysis Center

This page contains links to Next-Generation Clustered Heat Maps (NG-CHM) to supplement a number of TCGA papers. NG-CHM are highly interactive, dynamic clustered heatmaps that enable the user to see an overview of the entire heatmap, and via interactive navigation controls, to zoom and pan across the heatmap to see details of the heatmap at many levels of resolution. Other interactive controls enable searching for specific heatmap entries, generating production quality PDFs, and linking out to information related to rows, columns, and individual heatmap entries. The user interface is mostly intuitive, although a few less commonly used features can only be accessed with the use of specific keys. These are documented in the Viewer documentation.

Specific NG-CHM pages

We have organized the NGCHM based on the disease and/or paper concerned, as detailed by the following table:

Breast invasive carcinoma tcga-supplements/ngchm-brca
Colorectal tcga-supplements/ngchm-crc
Glioblastoma tcga-supplements/ngchm-gbm
