Gitools is a desktop application for analysis and visualization of multidimensional data using interactive heat-maps.
Participants will learn:
1. How to load data into Gitools
2. How to obtain the visualization that fits your needs.
3. How to interact with the heat-map (sort, filter, move, cluster, search)
4. How to integrate different data dimensions.
5. How to visualize column and row annotations.
6. How to perform analyses over the heat-map (e.g. sample level enrichment analysis, group comparison, correlations and others).
7. How to load predefined interactive heat-maps of interest for cancer research, including multidimensional data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia and IntOGen.
8. How to export heat-maps into a publication-ready figure.
9. How to share your data in the form of interactive heat-maps.
