Box & Violin — Count Distribution

Box Plot

Header: Box Plot: Normalised Count Distribution per Sample

The Box plot displays the overall distribution of normalised gene expression values (log2 scale) for each sample group. This is a quality control visualization that helps you verify whether samples have comparable expression distributions after normalisation.

Each box represents one sample group and shows the median, interquartile range (IQR), and whiskers extending to the data range. The y-axis is labeled log2(Normalised Count + 1) and the x-axis shows Sample Group names.

Samples are color-coded by group, matching the color scheme used across the platform.

An expandable section below the plot provides summary statistics for the count distributions.

Violin Plot

Header: Violin: Normalised Count Distribution per Sample

The Violin plot presents the same data as the Box plot but uses a density-based visualization that reveals the full shape of each sample's expression distribution. The wider sections of each "violin" indicate where more genes are concentrated at that expression level.

This is particularly useful for identifying bimodal distributions or other non-normal patterns that a box plot might not reveal. The axes and groupings are identical to the Box plot.
