# Monitoring Progression of Scleroderma --- ## Project Description This is a website for visualising datasets to study protein expression in Scleroderma patients. The website is able to generate the following plots: - Correlation Plot - Boxplot - UMAP plot - Volcano plot - Violin plot --- ## Table of Contents - [Introduction](#introduction) - [Features](#features) - [Installation](#installation) - [Usage](#usage) - [Contributing](#contributing) - [License](#license) - [Contact/Support](#contact) --- ## Introduction Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that can cause thickened areas of skin and connective tissues. To gain a deeper understanding of this condition, analysing the expression of different proteins observed in Scleroderma patients is highly beneficial. This website utilizes a dataset to generate 4 graphs, enabling researchers to analyse results while requiring minimal bioinformatics expertise. --- ## Features ### Selecting Protein Users can search for proteins using multiple naming conventions including: - Protein Name - Full Protein Name - Entrez Gene ID - Entrez Gene Symbol Alternatively, users can utilize the volcano plot on the main page to select a protein by hovering over and clicking on the plot. ### Volcano Plot ### Correlation Plot ### Box Plot ### UMAP Plot ### Violin Plot --- ## Installation 1.
