The research team affiliated with Sun Yat Sen University in Guangzhou engineered PlotGDP<\/strong>, an AI-based web server tool designed to assist people with various bioinformatics plotting tasks, with no coding or environment deployment required.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biomedical research catalyzes progress in medicine, diagnostics, and therapies. Thousands of papers are published on a daily basis across journals. Without the advent of bioinformatics as research\u2019s backbone, much of today\u2019s massive biomedical data would remain unanalyzed or misinterpreted, making data analysis one of the most important tasks of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even small errors in plotting data can cause serious controversy. Some papers have been criticized for using misleading scales, exaggerating effects, or leading to paper retractions, which damages the credibility of the researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PlotGDP Solves Challenges in Visualization: Case Study in Cancer Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just as in any other research, cancer research<\/a> also produces enormous datasets that include gene expression levels, mutations, patient survival, etc. To understand the pattern behind these, scientists rely heavily on visualizations. Considering how vulnerable errors in plotting patterns in these datasets are, testing PlotGDP is a bold step for scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers used real cancer biology datasets such as TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas), then PlotGDP was asked to create visualizations that are standard in cancer research, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
