The Shiny Gene Log2FC Visualization App is a Shiny web application that allows you to upload a CSV file containing gene expression data and visualize the Log2FC (Log2 Fold Change) for a selected gene. Log2FC is a common metric used in RNA-seq analysis to assess the change in gene expression between two conditions.
To run this Shiny app on your local machine, follow these steps:
-
Prerequisites: Make sure you have R and RStudio installed on your computer. You can download R from the R Project website and RStudio from the RStudio website.
-
Download the Code: Download the code for this Shiny app.

install.packages("shiny")
-
Run the App: Open the app.R file in RStudio and click the "Run App" button. This will launch the Shiny app in your web browser.
-
Usage: Use the app to upload a CSV file with gene expression data and select a gene from the dropdown menu. The app will generate a bar plot showing the Log2FC for the selected gene.
-
Interact with the Plot: The generated plot provides a visual representation of the Log2FC values for the selected gene. You can explore the plot, and if no data is found for the selected gene, a message indicating "No data found for the gene" will be displayed.
The app uses the following R packages:
