depictio Depictio dashboard for rnasplice: your feedback wanted
Hi all! š I am building
Depictio, an open-source platform from EMBL to explore pipeline results without writing a Shiny or Streamlit app each time. A pipeline gets a
dashboard template: a short definition that turns the outputs of any run into an interactive dashboard. I am now sharing it more widely, so I would like the view of rnasplice users and developers.
āØ
What it does
ā¢
MultiQC reports (aggregated across runs) next to result
tables,
images,
phylogenetic trees,
maps... with
linked filters
ā¢
Reusable: point the template at any new run of the same pipeline and you get the same dashboard
ā¢
Fully editable: modify any dashboard from the
GUI or in
YAML, so the template is a starting point, not a constraint
ā¢
Versioned, with
comments and annotations on any component
⢠Runs as a
Python package, with
Docker Compose or on
Kubernetes, and can serve as a
companion web app for a publication
š
For rnasplice: sample PCA, which genes each tool calls and where the tools agree, DEXSeq and edgeR exon usage, DEXSeq transcript usage, and rMATS and SUPPA2 splicing events, next to the MultiQC report.
āļø
Compared with shinyngs: for the differential expression part, the usual route is nf-core/differentialabundance, which builds an R/Shiny app (shinyngs) from a matrix and a design. Depictio is not tied to R or to one data type: it shows the same kind of results (PCA, volcano, MA, GSEA) next to the MultiQC report and the other outputs of the run, behind one link, with versioning and comments. I see it as complementary: shinyngs is made for exploring expression data, Depictio for sharing the whole run.
š
What I need: I have built 25 templates and want people who really use these pipelines to review and criticise them. What is useful? What is misleading?
š Dashboard:
rnasplice dashboard (no account needed)
š¬ Comment on the dashboard (Google sign-in) or in the
GitHub discussion dedicated to rnasplice.
ā A star on the
repo is welcome if you find it useful. Thanks! š
š¤ In you're interested in the project, I was speaking about Depictio at the Nextflow Summit (
session page), and the recording will be available in the coming weeks.
