DataMap: A Portable Application for Visualizing High-Dimensional Data

Motivation: The visualization and analysis of high-dimensional data are essential in biomedical research. There is a need for secure, scalable, and reproducible tools to facilitate data exploration and interpretation. Results: We introduce DataMap, a browser-based application for visualization of high-dimensional data using heatmaps, principal component analysis (PCA), and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE). DataMap runs in the web browser, ensuring data privacy while eliminating the need for installation or a server. The application has an intuitive user interface for data transformation, annotation, and generation of reproducible R code. Availability and Implementation: Freely available as a GitHub page https://gexijin.github.io/datamap/. The source code can be found at https://github.com/gexijin/datamap, and can also be installed as an R package. Contact: [email protected]
