All new iDEP 1.0 released in testing mode!

Please send us a brief email to show your support.

If you state your general research area and how iDEP makes you more productive, we can use it as a support letter when we apply for the next round of funding. Hundreds of strong, enthusiastic letters sent to us in 2019 were essential when we applied for the current grant from NIH/NHGRI (R01HG010805), which expires in 20 months. Your letters will help sustain and improve this service.

July 30, 2022: iDEP updated to v0.96. Fixed a bug in the DEG1 tab regarding the different comparisons. iDEP now works even when factors have more than two levels. The downside is that some comparisons for non-reference levels are difficult to make. Users have to change the reference levels and rerun.

April 25, 2022: Gene ID conversion is much faster now, even when species has to be guessed. So is the DEG2 tab.

April 24, 2022: Add a tab for visualizing the fold-change of all genes in all KEGG diagrams across all comparisons!

Feb. 11, 2022: Like iDEP but your genome is not covered? Customized iDEP is now available. Its database includes several custom genomes requested by users. To request to add new species/genome, fill in this Form.

Email Jenny for questions. Follow Dr Ge on Twitter for updates.

If it is slow, restart from a new browser window (not a new tab). You will be assigned to a new worker computer.

iDEP has not been thoroughly tested. Please let us know if you find any issue/bug.

iDEP: Integrated Differential Expression and Pathway analysis



Aspect ratios of figures can be adjusted by changing the width of browser window.

Enriched pathways for each cluster








Numbers of differentially expressed genes for all comparisons. "B-A" means B vs. A. Interaction terms start with "I:". Unnamed factors are at reference level.

In the demo data, if you select, "mu" and "mock" as reference levels for the two factors and select the interaction term, then "IR-mock" represents genes induced by IR in mutant, which lacks a functional P53 protein. "wt-mu" indicates genes differentially expressed in wt compared with mutant, under mock condition. The interaction term "I:p53_wt-Treatment_IR" tells us the extra response to IR in wildtype compared with mutant. In otherwords, this is the p53-dependent changes in gene expression in response to IR.

If you want to obtain the genes up- or down-regulated by IR in the wildtype, you will need to set the reference level for genotype to "wt" and rerun DESeq2. Similarily, to obtain the DEGs between mutant and wildtype, both with IR, set the reference level for treatment as IR and rerun DESeq2.


Enriched pathways in DEGs for the selected comparison:

Top Genes for selected comparison:

Red and blue indicates activated and suppressed pathways, respectively.
Red and blue indicates activated and suppressed pathways, respectively.
Red and green represent up- and down-regulated genes, respectively.
Bright red indicates most upregulated; bright green, most downregulated.

Email us for questions, suggestions, or data contributions. Stay connected via user group or Twitter. Visit our GitHub page to see source code, install a local version, or report bugs and request features. iDEP is being developed by a very small team: Dr. Xijin Ge and a graduate student (Homepage).

R as in Reproducibility

Documentation site. Source code on GitHub, where users can also report bugs or requet features.
To improve reproducibility, iDEP generates custom R code based on your data and choices of parameters. Users with some R coding experience should be able to re-run most analyses by downloading all of the files below. If Ensembl IDs is not used in users' original file, we should use the converted data file. Click through all the tabs and then download all these file to a folder. Run the Customized R code or the Markdown file. R Markdown example.
