The iSEE package provides an interactive user interface for exploring data in objects derived from the SummarizedExperiment class.
Particular focus is given to single-cell data stored in the SingleCellExperiment derived class.
The user interface is implemented with RStudio's Shiny, with a multi-panel setup for ease of navigation.
This initiative was proposed at the European Bioconductor Meeting in Cambridge, 2017. Current contributors include:
:white_check_mark: Multiple interactive plot types with selectable points.
:white_check_mark: Interactive tables with selectable rows.
:white_check_mark: Coloring of samples and features by metadata or expression data.
:white_check_mark: Zooming to a plot subregion.
:white_check_mark: Transmission of point selections between panels to highlight, color, or restrict data points in the receiving panel(s).
:white_check_mark: Lasso point selection to define complex shapes.
The iSEE user interface currently contains the following components where each data point represents a single biological sample:
:white_check_mark: Reduced dimension plot: Scatter plot of reduced dimensionality data.
:white_check_mark: Column data plot: Adaptive plot of any one or two sample metadata. A scatter, violin, or square design is dynamically applied according to the continuous or discrete nature of the metadata.
:white_check_mark: Feature assay plot: Adaptive plot of expression data across samples for any two features or one feature against one sample metadata.
:white_check_mark: Column statistics table: Table of sample metadata.
The iSEE user interface currently contains the following components where each data point represents a genomic feature:
:white_check_mark: Row data plot: Adaptive plot of any two feature metadata. A scatter, violin, or square design is dynamically applied according to the continuous or discrete nature of the metadata.
:white_check_mark: Sample assay plot: Adaptive plot of expression data across features for any two samples or one sample against one feature metadata.
:white_check_mark: Row statistics table: Table of feature metadata.
The iSEE user interface contains the following components that integrate sample and feature information:
:white_check_mark: Heat map plot: Visualize multiple features across multiple samples annotated with sample metadata.
The iSEE user interface allows users to programmatically define their own plotting and table panels.
:white_check_mark: Custom data plot: Plotting panel that can be assigned any user-defined function returning a ggplot object.
:white_check_mark: Custom statistics table: Table panel that can be assigned any user-defined function returning a data.frame object.
:white_check_mark: The iSEE user interface continually tracks the code corresponding to all visible plotting panels. This code is rendered in a shinyAce text editor and can be copy-pasted into R scripts for customization and further use.
:white_check_mark: Speech recognition can be enabled to control the user interface using voice commands.
We set up instances of iSEE applications running on diverse types of datasets at those addresses:
Please keep in mind that those public instances are for trial purposes only;
yet they demonstrate how you or your system administrator can setup iSEE for analyzing or sharing your precomputed SummarizedExperiment/SingleCellExperiment object.
If you want to extend the functionality of iSEE, you can create custom panels which add new possibilities to interact with your data. You can find a gallery with working examples of how to do it here. Feel free to contact the developing team, should you need some clarifications on how iSEE works internally. Submit a pull request once the implementation is complete, if you want to have it added to the gallery.
