Heat maps are a powerful way to visualize expression matrix data.
Clustergrammer is a free visualization service and open source project provided by the Ma'ayan Lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. A heat map for data from runs in Panorama can be generated using the free web service version of Clustergrammer.
