Bio Data Visualization Dimensionality Reduction Plots

biotender-max/bio-data-visualization-dimensionality-reduction-plots

Produce and interpret PCA, t-SNE, UMAP, and PHATE plots for high-dimensional omics data with rigor about which method preserves what (variance, local structure, manifold, transitions), hyperparameter sensitivity, and the well-documented limits of 2D embeddings. Covers PCA biplot/scree/loadings, t-SNE PCA initialization (Kobak-Berens 2019), UMAP n_neighbors/min_dist trade-offs, and the Chari-Pachter 2023 critique. Use when visualizing high-dimensional data — bulk PCA, single-cell embeddings, multi-omics integration projections.
