iGEX: an interactive Gene EXpression exploration platform for the analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic datasets

iGEX is an interactive platform that integrates public and user-generated transcriptomic and proteomic datasets into one visual workspace for comparing expression of multiple transcripts or proteins.

• Why it matters: Public high-throughput datasets are growing, but extracting insight is often slowed by repeated downloading, reformatting, integration, and specialized coding.
• What they did: iGEX lets users choose gene/protein targets and experiments, then visualize and edit results across PCA, expression and correlation heatmaps, hierarchical clustering, and volcano plots.
• The result: By examining user data alongside resources like EMBL-EBI Expression Atlas, Bgee, and PaxDb, iGEX helps determine whether expression patterns appear across experiments, species, or experimental contexts.
