This new release adds value and improves data analysis

•    Even clearer visualization in the 3D PCA plots by combining symbols and colors  .
•    Optimizing statistics and saving time with faster and built-in nonparametric statistical tests.
•    Simplify reporting and publication  with the new Violin-plot and extensive plot options updates.

Symbols in 2D and 3D plots

Visualize multiple annotations at the same time both in 2D and 3D plots such as PCA using a combination of colors and symbols.

Benefit: Makes it possible to show two different sample annotations in the same plot.  

New inbuilt statistical tests

• Welch 

• Kruskal-Wallis 

• Mann-Whitney 

Benefits: Fast built-in Welch and nonparametric tests. Welch for data with uneven distribution of variance or large differences in sample sizes. Non-parametric tests for data with unknown distribution. Typically, when data is not expected to have a normal distribution. Compared to the R-based solution in version 3.8 the new version is 900 times faster.

Extensive plot updates 

Line plot:

• Averaging in Line plot (whiskers) has been added, controlled from a Computations section in the Options tab. 

• Show data points are now default. New configuration setting available in Options tab. 

Benefit: More options to easier and faster create publication ready plots.

Box plot: 

• Show mean and median lines in plot. 

• p-value formatting for significance calculation. Choose between Fixed, Scientific and Asterisks. 

Benefit: More options to easier and faster create publication ready plots.  

Bar plot: 

• Various fixes for improved automatic layout 

• Improved default settings. 

Benefit: More options to easier and faster create publication ready plots.  

New Violin plot

• Show Violins, show individual samples in the violins 

• More options for formatting p-values. Choose between Fixed, Scientific and Asterisks. 

• Flexibility in axis selections 

Benefits: Visualize the distribution of samples in a group. Shows how the distribution varies between groups. A complement to the Box plot. More options to easier and faster create publication ready plots.

More updates

• Improved single cell performance 

• Improved scales for plot colors (centering) 

• Add import wizard option for count data: all gene lengths equal to 1. 

• Automatically select the active list when creating a new dataset or a non-synchronized plot.
