HeatMap Builder

A common approach to the visualization of ‘large number’ experiments in genomics is the representation of microarray data points as boxes of different color shades. We have developed a standalone application for generating such images (‘heatmaps’) in Visual C# using the .NET environment. The program offers dataset-normalized and row-normalized algorithms for color allocation, and pre-determined or linear-morphing algorithms for color selection. Data points are represented either by filled boxes, or by boxes filled with a circle or rectangle with an area proportional to the data point value. Several output formats are available, including standard compression algorithms and lossless file formats.

Heatmap builder is free for the academic community. To download the executable, please go to our registration page. If you've already registered, please go here. If you have forgotten your username and/or password, please e-mail the webmaster. Before running the program, check that you have the .Net runtime environment: you can easily check and download this via Windows update. Documentation is available here in pdf format. For enquiries, please email Euan Ashley.
