Confirm and Analyze
Click the [Assign group information]
button and wait for the [Summary]
section to display additional information about your dataset. You can download and save the plots in .svg format for further analysis or publication. All plots can be zoomed in and out for a closer examination of the data.
Intensity Distribution Plot
By clicking the [Intensity Distribution]
tab, you can view box plots for all uploaded samples, with each group highlighted in different colors. You can filter out proteins with low intensity and customize the title, X-axis, and Y-axis labels as needed.

PCA Plot
The PCA Plot visualizes the distribution of selected groups based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This plot helps in identifying patterns and trends in your dataset by reducing the dimensionality and highlighting the differences and similarities between groups. We include 2D and 3D PCA plots. Each point in the plot represents a sample, and the position of the points indicates their relative similarity or difference based on the principal components. The axes represent the first two/three principal components, which capture the most variance in the data. This visualization can be useful for identifying outliers, clusters, and potential relationships between groups.
You can define the number of top variable proteins included in the PCA. The results may vary depending on the number of proteins selected. Additionally, you can toggle the buttons to display or hide labels on the plot.

Sample Correlation
The sample correlation heatmap visualizes the correlation within and between groups. This method organizes samples and features into a hierarchical tree, known as a dendrogram, based on their similarity or dissimilarity. The heatmap uses color gradients to represent the intensity of the correlation, with closely related samples or groups appearing closer together on the dendrogram. This visualization can help identify clusters of similar samples, reveal patterns in the data, and highlight differences between groups. It’s a valuable tool for understanding the relationships and structure within your dataset.
Similarly, you can select the number of proteins to include in the cluster analysis. The percentage indicates the ratio of the selected top variable proteins to the total number of proteins in the dataset. You can also choose from various agglomeration and distance methods to customize the clustering process. These options allow you to refine the analysis and tailor the clustering approach based on the characteristics of your data and your specific research needs.

Group Selection
Navigate to the [Group selection]
panel to explore different ways of grouping your data for visualization. You can select variables or categories to group your data, such as experimental conditions, genes, or sexes. This flexibility allows you to customize the visualization and highlight specific aspects of your data for more detailed analysis. Use the options in the panel to easily switch between different groupings and gain insights from various perspectives.
