How to interpret a heatmap for differential gene expression analysis - simply explained!

Video Description

In this video, I will focus on how to interpret a heatmap for differential gene expression analysis. Learn why heatmaps are a great visualisation tool for our DEG or gene set enrichment analysis results, why clustered heatmaps help us find patterns in our genes and/or samples and how to interpret a heatmap from a real-life published example! We will go through heatmaps from the very basics and then apply the main points to interpret a heatmap from a scientific paper.
