research requires understanding data
but there is so much of it…
3
What is important? Where are the connections?
4
methylation levels
mRNA expression
copy number status
mutation status
microRNA expression
clinical parameters
pathways
protein expression
sequencingdata
publications
5
Data Visualization… makes the data accessible… combines strengths of humans and computers… enables insight… communicates

Who am I?PostDoc @ Harvard, Hanspeter Pfister’s GroupPhD from TU Graz, AustriaCo-leader ofCaleydo Project
11
What is Caleydo?Software analyzing molecular biology data
Software for doing research in visualizationdeveloped in academic setting
platform for trying out radically new visualization ideas
Quest for compromise between academic prototyping and ready-to-use software
12
What is Caleydo?Open source platform for developing visualization and data analysis techniques
easily extendible due to plug-in architecture
you can create your own views
you can plug-in your own algorithms

CANCER SUBTYPE VISUALIZATION
Caleydo StratomeX
15
Cancer SubtypesCancer types are not homogeneousThey are divided into Subtypes
different histology
different molecular alterations
Subtypes have serious implicationsdifferent treatment for subtypes
prognosis varies between subtypes
16
Cancer Subtype Analysis
Done using many different types of data,for large numbers of patients.
18
Goal: Support tumor subtype
characterization through
Integrative visual analysis of cancer genomics data sets.
19
StratificationPa
tient
sTabular Data
Candidate Subtypes
Genes, Proteins, etc.
20
Stratification of a Single Dataset
Cluster A1
Cluster A2
Cluster A3
Subtypes are identified by stratifying datasets, e.g.,
based on an expression pattern
a mutation status
a copy number alteration
a combination of these

32
How to Choose Stratifications?~ 15 clusterings per matrix~ 15,000 stratifications for copy number & mutations~ 500 pathways~ 20 clinical variablesCalculating scores for matchesRanking the results
33
Query column Result column
Ranked Stratifications
Considered Datasets
34
Algorithms for finding..… matching stratification… matching subtype… mutual exclusivity… relevant pathway… stratification with significant effect in survival… high/low structural variation

PATHWAYS & EXPERIMENTAL DATA
Caleydo enRoute
Teaser Picture
37
Experimental Data and Pathways
Cannot account for variation found in real-world dataBranches can be (in)activated due to
mutation,
changed gene expression,
modulation due to drug treatment,
etc.

Experimental Data and Pathways

Five RequirementsIdeal visualization technique addresses all
Talking about 3 today
41
R I: Data ScaleLarge number of experiments
Large datasets have more than 500 experiments
Multiple groups/conditions
42
R II: Data HeterogeneityDifferent types of data, e.g.,
mRNA expression numerical
mutation statuscategorical
copy number variation ordered categorical
metabolite concentration numerical
Require different visualization techniques
43
R V: Supporting Multiple Tasks
Two central tasks:Explore topology of pathway
Explore the attributes of the nodes (experimental data)
Need to support both!

PathwaysPartitioning in pathways is artificialPurpose: reduce complexity
“Relevant” subset of nodes and edge
Makes it hard tounderstand cross-talk
identify role of nodes in other pathways
