Welcome

Welcome to the Course Website for EN.580.428 Genomic Data Visualization!

As the primary mode through which analysts and audience members alike consume data, data visualization remains an important hypothesis generating and analytical technique in data-driven research to facilitate new discoveries. However, if done poorly, data visualization can also mislead, bias, and slow down progress. This hands-on course will cover the principles of perception and cognition relevant for data visualization and apply these principles to genomic data, including large-scale spatially-resolved omics datasets, using the R statistical programming language. Students will be expected to complete class readings, create weekly data visualizations as homework assignments, and make a major class presentation.

All Visualizations

B and T compartments in white pulp

I checked total protein signal and its relationship with cell area, then log-transformed the protein intensities (log1p), ran PCA, embedded cells with tSNE using the top PCs, and applied k-means...

Discussion

A multipanel data visualization identifying cell types in splenic white pulp

Figure out what tissue structure is represented in the CODEX data. Options include: (1) Artery/Vein, (2) White pulp, (3) Red pulp, (4) Capsule/Trabecula. You will need to visualize and interpret...

HW5

Instructions Perform a full analysis (quality control, dimensionality reduction, kmeans clustering, differential expression analysis) on your data. Your goal is to figure out what tissue structure is represented in the...

Validating Identity of Splenic White Pulp with B-cell and T-cell Markers

The CODEX dataset for spleen tissue was analyzed in this visualization. To identify a tissue structure in the data, a combination of methods were utilized such as normalization, PCA and...

HW5: Identifying White Pulp and Red Pulp in CODEX Data

Description The White Pulp (Clusters 1 & 2):

Identification of splenic white pulp through dimensionality reduction, k-means clustering, and differential expression analysis

1. Figure description This multi-panel data visualization uses principal component analysis (PCA), t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (tSNE), k-means clustering, and differential expression analysis to characterize clusters of interest based on...

Identifying Tissue Type in Spleen

Description My full analysis followed a similar pipeline to the previous homework assignments. I began by performing quality control by removing cells in the bottom 1% of total protein expression...

Identification of Human Splenic White Pulp from CODEX Spatial Proteomics

This data visualization of a spleen CODEX dataset highlights two cell clusters, B cells and T cells, identifying the tissue as white pulp based on protein markers and physical organization...

Identification of CODEX data as White Pulp

Perform a full analysis (quality control, dimensionality reduction, kmeans clustering, differential expression analysis) on your data. Your goal is to figure out what tissue structure is represented in the CODEX...

title

Description In this analysis, I used CODEX spatial proteomics data from spleen tissue to identify what tissue structure was present. After filtering out low-quality cells by area, I performed tSNE...
