Abstract: | Many types of genomic data can be represented in matrix format, with rows corresponding to genes and columns corresponding to gene features. The heat map is a popular technique for visualizing such data, plotting the data on a two-dimensional grid and using a color scale to represent the magnitude of each matrix entry. Prism is a Web-based software tool for generating annotated heat map visualizations of genome-wide data quickly. The tool provides a selection of genome-specific annotation catalogs as well as a catalog upload capability. The heat maps generated are clickable, allowing the user to drill down to examine specific matrix entries, and gene annotations are linked to relevant genomic databases.
