Commonly used charts in NGS/ bioinformatics

Question

[win]

Is there a site/ resource that highlights which are the commonly used type of visualizations in bioinformatics? For e.g. we use heatmap, concept plot and the routine ones, are there other that get used? Is there any backing dataset for these as well?

Thanks in advance.

Dear win, Hi

I guess there is not any "Commonly" used charts in all NGS/ bioinformatics, as these fields ( NGS/ bioinformatics) contain very different and diverse domains.

Of course you can make your investigation with focusing on each field separately (e.g RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, WGS and . . . ) and check several papers about them to see more frequent charts.

For example, in this article some charts that are usually used in RNA-seq papers are present.

Some companies also offer Bioinformatic Analysis services, you can collect a pipeline and related charts from their BA service,too.

Finally, what I most admire is the papers with some novelty in design and clever biological concept (not a clone of other stupidograph) ;-)

Exactly, it's all dependent on the datatype which is used in that particular field.

I know that Vijay, nonconstructive time waste comment of yours

You don't have to be this disrespectful here. You ask a very broad (unreasonable aspecific) question and you get asked to clarify what exactly you are looking for. Perhaps, for your next question, we will consider helping you a waste of time.

WouterDeCoster: Other people have answered the question legibly. I don't want to read any cookery stuff. What you consider is your lookout!!
