HeatmapGenerator is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year (2019). To commemorate, we are writing a new manuscript entitled HeatmapGenerator turns 5: celebrating the fifth anniversary of the original heatmap GUI (with a total rewrite!) to be submitted for publication to F1000 Research. This rewrite will turn HeatmapGenerator into an awesomely beautiful Electron app, borrowing some of the incredible user features and lessons we've learned from our past experience designing the world's fastest heatmap software, shinyheatmap. Our goal is to create the world’s most sophisticated heatmap computing infrastructure, brought to you (dear user) from the comfort and security of your own dock/desktop. Stay tuned for the newly re-engineered HeatmapGenerator ... redesigned for amazing pro features, blazing performance, and a modern native look across all operating systems to elevate and enhance your user experience.
HeatmapGenerator is a graphical user interface software program written in C++, R, and OpenGL to create customized gene expression heatmaps from RNA-seq and microarray data in medical research. HeatmapGenerator can also be used to make heatmaps in a variety of other non-medical fields.
HeatmapGenerator is peer-reviewed published software (http://www.scfbm.org/content/9/1/30). When using this software, please cite: [Khomtchouk et al.: “HeatmapGenerator: High performance RNAseq and microarray visualization software suite to examine differential gene expression levels using an R and C++ hybrid computational pipeline.” Source Code for Biology and Medicine, 2014 9:30].
