HeatmapGenerator Reviews

Trying to download heatmapgenerator on Windows - but having troubles with running the program. Please help!

This program was exactly what I was looking for. I have big tables full of RNAseq data that I would like to cook and recook autonomously, but R and I are not exactly friends. That's when Heatmap Generator comes in. You just feed it with your tab-delimited text file, and that's it, your clustered and beautifully arranged data is pictured in a custom-colors heatmap. During its first run, HG downloads, builds and installs the R packages it needs, so you just have to follow the very few instructions in the manual to be ready to go. Plus, it's easy to save your data to tab delimited text file from within Excel or OOo Calc, and this file format is actually better than csv, so you can have names like this "Gene1,organism_1,whatever", since you generally never use a tab character to create spacing in your strings.

Emails about the software are answered quickly, and no programming experience required! I was able to easily generate my first heatmap as a publication quality figure.

Quite easy installed application. Quickly creating good-quality heatmap, without knowledge of R. It is important to read instructions and translate appropriate Excel data!!! p.s. for researchers working in the field of biostatistics would suggest anyway learn R programming.
