VolcaNoseR is a web app for creating, exploring, labeling and sharing volcano plots

Abstract Comparative genome- and proteome-wide screens yield large amounts of data. To efficiently present such datasets and to simplify the identification of hits, the results are often presented in a type of scatterplot known as a volcano plot, which shows a measure of effect size versus a measure...
