AI Analysis
This work provides an incremental improvement to a data visualization tool for genomics researchers.
The paper addresses the limitations of static MA plots for analyzing gene expression differences by introducing an interactive version. This enhanced MA plot aims to improve usability for genomics experts.
MA plots are used to analyze the genome-wide differences in gene expression between two distinct biological conditions. An MA plot is usually rendered as a static scatter plot. Our interview with 3 experts in genomics showed that we could improve the usability of this plot by adding interactive analytic features. In this work we present the design study of the enhanced MA plot.
