displayHTS: a R package for displaying data and results from high-throughput screening experiments

The R package displayHTS implements recently developed methods and figures for displaying data and hit selection results in high-throughput screening (HTS) experiments. It generates not only certain useful distinctive graphics such as the plate-well series plot, plate image and dual-flashlight plot but also other commonly used figures such as volcano plot and plate correlation plot. These figures are critical for visualizing the data and displaying important features of HTS data and hit selection results.
