[Visualization of transcriptome data]

As an important method to study the phenotype and function of organisms, transcriptome has become one of hot topics in current research. The transcriptomics research usually accompanies with massive data. With the increase of the amount of data, the rules and features hidden in it are not easy to be found. Transforming big data into visual graphics is the most undoubtedly intuitive way to display the hidden information of big data. Several graphs commonly used in transcriptome study were introduced in this paper, such as Venn diagram, heat map, principal component analysis scatter plot, enrichment analysis plot, and time series analysis plot, in order to help readers to choose suitable graphics in future studies.
