A collection of easy-to-use custom ggplot2-based functions for data exploration and analysis. Each function handles data preprocessing and returns a ggplot2 object that can be further customized using standard ggplot2 syntax. Includes general-purpose and domain-specific visualizations.

Features

General:

General-purpose visualizations

• gg_splitcorr() - Split-Correlation Heatmap
• gg_rankshift() - Paired box-/bar- plots with rank change
• gg_criteria() - Criteria heatmap with optional barplots
• gg_conf() - Confusion/contingency table bubble plot

Bioinformatics:

Sequence analysis and genomics visualizations

• gg_geno() - Biallelic genotype visualization with split tiles and optional barplots
• gg_seq() - Sequence coverage plot with region highlighting
• gg_seqdiff() - Sequence alignment showing only differences
• gg_biodist() - Biodistribution plots with easy free-scale faceting

Chemoinformatics:

Binding kinetics and drug discovery visualizations

• gg_kdmap() - Kinetic rate maps (association/dissociation) with iso-affinity lines

Installation
