Make Complex Heatmaps

Complex heatmaps are efficient to visualize associations between different sources of data sets and reveal potential patterns. Here the ComplexHeatmap package provides a highly flexible way to arrange multiple heatmaps and supports various annotation graphics.

Install

ComplexHeatmap is available on Bioconductor, you can install it by:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("ComplexHeatmap")

If you want the latest version, install it directly from GitHub:

library(devtools)
install_github("jokergoo/ComplexHeatmap")

Usage

Make a single heatmap:

Heatmap(mat, ...)

A single Heatmap with column annotations:

ha = HeatmapAnnotation(df = anno1, anno_fun = anno2, ...)
Heatmap(mat, ..., top_annotation = ha)

Make a list of heatmaps:

Heatmap(mat1, ...) + Heatmap(mat2, ...)

Make a list of heatmaps and row annotations:

ha = HeatmapAnnotation(df = anno1, anno_fun = anno2, ..., which = "row")
Heatmap(mat1, ...) + Heatmap(mat2, ...) + ha

Interactive heatmaps

Heatmaps can be exported into a Shiny app by ht_shiny(ht). See examples at https://jokergoo.shinyapps.io/interactive_complexheatmap/.
