New in Gitools 2.1.0 (Mar 6, 2014)

  • The new version of Gitools contains many internal changes and improvements for usability and analyses. Below we list the new main features which we will try to explain in more detail in upcoming posts.
  • File import: Any flat text file containing values may now be imported to Gitools.
  • Data integration: Via file import it is possible to load new data layers on an existing heatmap. You have a heatmap with methylation values and now the mutations have come in? Just load them as an additional value for each cell.
  • Group Comparisons may now be done much more easily and for a series of groups at once. Group by annotations, values or without constraints and check for differences between two groups of samples.
  • Bookmarks: Gitools heatmaps can now be bookmarked. Save a constellation of visible rows and columns in their order and the value being viewed.
  • Clustering: The clustering code has been improved. We tackled in particular the difficulty of combining hierarchical clustering and interactive heatmaps. Besides that a classical newick tree is being generated, the heatmap is annotated with colored clusters representing the tree and its splits. Thus the order of the heatmap may be changed without invalidating the hierarchical tree.

New in Gitools 1.8.4 (Jun 4, 2013)

  • This latest version include important new features in terms of communication of Gitools with other tools (i.e. IGV, GenomeSpace, GSEA, excel). Now the user will get more flexibility for loading data in Gitools.
  • These are the most important improvements in that aspect:
  • Send matrices from IGV (Integrative Genomics Viewer) directly to Gitools
  • Load matrices from GenomeSpace
  • .GCT file support for matrix files (format used by GSEA).
  • Import matrices from Excel data sheets
