List of Venn diagram tools for bioinformaticians


  • The current biomedical hegemony of mass analytical "omics" domains such as genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics has enabled the rapid generation of enormously complex data sets with frequently unwieldy quantities of data points.
  • Venn analysis is frequently used as the initial filtering step for large, complex, and interrelated data corpora.
  • Numerous Venn diagram applications are already accessible for free to aid in the straightforward visual interpretation of biological datasets.
  • The accessible tools for plotting Venn diagrams, on the other hand, are unevenly scattered throughout the literature.
  • Here, we present a guided list to such tools that might assist scientists/researchers/students in visualizing their gene lists and generating biological hypotheses using integrated knowledge from biological pathway and GO databases.

Table 1:List of tools and their features

S. noTool/programNumber of input data sets (maximum)PlatformFunctional informationNumber of citation
1BioVenn3Web-applicationBioVenn outputs lists of identifiers for each of the resulting subsets. If an identifier is recognized as belonging to one of the supported biological databases, the output is linked to that database. Finally, BioVenn can map Affymetrix and EntrezGene identifiers to Ensembl genes.1114
