MapMan
MapMan is a desktop tool for visualizing plant high-throughput omics data in the context of biological pathways and processes. It maps protein function annotation results, generated with Mercator4, together with gene expression data onto schematic pathway diagrams. This visual approach enables researchers to inspect global biological responses and identify altered biological processes within their experiments.
Key benefits
Desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Visualization of gene expression data together with protein function annotations
Mapping of experimental data onto schematic pathway and process diagrams
Compatible with current and legacy Mercator4 annotation outputs
Supports custom diagrams using pathway images and protein/gene mapping files
Applications
Visualization of plant gene expression data in biological context
Exploration of metabolic pathways and other biological processes
Inspection of global response patterns across experiments
Use of predefined MapMan diagrams, including Mercator4-compatible diagram sets
Creation of custom pathway diagrams for project-specific analyses
Intended use
MapMan is intended for plant scientists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, and omics researchers working with plant gene expression data and protein function annotations. It is particularly suited for users who want to visually explore large datasets using pathway-based diagrams and Mercator4-compatible classification outputs.
