Volcano Plot in Python
New to Plotly?
Plotly is a free and open-source graphing library for Python. We recommend you read our Getting Started guide for the latest installation or upgrade instructions, then move on to our Plotly Fundamentals tutorials or dive straight in to some Basic Charts tutorials.
VolcanoPlot¶
Volcano Plot interactively identifies clinically meaningful markers in genomic experiments, i.e., markers that are statistically significant and have an effect size greater than some threshold. Specifically, volcano plots depict the negative log-base-10 p-values plotted against their effect size.

import pandas as pd
import dash_bio
df = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/dash-bio-docs-files/master/volcano_data1.csv')
dash_bio.VolcanoPlot(
dataframe=df,
)
Point Sizes And Line Widths¶
Change the size of the points on the scatter plot, and the widths of the effect lines and genome-wide line.
