ClusterGVis: An Advanced Visualization and Clustering Tool for Gene Expression Analysis

Single-cell RNA sequencing as well as bulk RNA sequencing data provide valuable insights into both physiological and pathological processes. The effective interpretation of these data relies on the availability of sophisticated analysis and visualization tools. Here, we introduce ClusterGVis, an advanced bioinformatics software specifically designed to simplify the analysis and visualization of gene expression data. ClusterGVis provides a user-friendly interface that allows researchers to perform fuzzy c-means and k-means clustering on transcriptomic datasets. It enables researchers to uncover patterns and relationships within complex gene expression profiles effectively. The integrated heatmap visualization features support intuitive exploration of co-expression networks and the identification of differentially expressed genes across diverse experimental conditions. ClusterGVis serves a dual purpose by aiding in the identification of potential biomarkers and enriching the understanding of gene function and regulatory mechanisms. The tutorials, manual, source code, and demo data of ClusterGVis are publicly available at https://github.com/junjunlab/ClusterGVis and https://bioconductor.org/packages/ClusterGVis. The ClusterGVis Shiny App has been deployed on shinyapps.io and is accessible at https://laojunjun.shinyapps.io/clustergvis_app_v0/. The Shiny App source code is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/junjunlab/ClusterGvis-app.
