This shiny application is an interactive Gene Explorer. The dataset is divided into 9 contrasts, each containing (the same) 100 Genes. The first tab displays the Genes per contrasts and is used to quickly view the Genes that have increased or decreased. In the second tab, individual Genes can be analyzed.

Application properties

• The application is created using the periscope2 package. periscope2 is a scalable and UI-standardized ‘shiny’ framework including a variety of developer convenience functions with the goal of both streamlining robust application development and assisting in creating a consistent user experience regardless of application or developer.
• The plots are created using CanvasXpress, which is a package for interactive data visualization. It supports a large number of visualizations to display scientific and non-scientific data which includes: Area, AreaLine, Bar, BarLine, Boxplot, Bubble, Candlestick, Chord, Circular, Contour, Correlation, Density, Donnut, DotLine, Dotplot, Genome, Heatmap, Histogram, Kaplan-Meier, Layout, Line, Map, Network, NonLinear-Fit, Oncoprint, ParallelCoordinates, Pie, Radar, Remote-Graphs, Sankey, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Stacked, StackedLine, StackedPercent, StackedPercentLine, Sunburst, TagCloud, Tree, Treemap, Venn, Video, Violin. This blogpost gives a good overview on how to get started with CanvasXpress.
