Overview

About

Maintained by Qirui ShenFirst published 2025-09-225 releasesCRAN page ↗

A tool for visualizing numerical data (e.g., gene expression, protein abundance) on predefined anatomical maps of human/mouse organs and subcellular organelles. It supports customization of color schemes, filtering by organ systems (for organisms) or organelle types, and generation of optional bar charts for quantitative comparison. The package integrates coordinate data for organs and organelles to plot anatomical/subcellular contours, mapping data values to specific structures for intuitive visualization of biological data distribution.The underlying method was described in the preprint by Zhou et al. (2022) doi:10.1101/2022.09.07.506938.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("OrgHeatmap", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-orgheatmap

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-OrgHeatmap

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-OrgHeatmap

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
