The Lollipop Chart is a data visualization chart named for its resemblance to a lollipop. It combines the characteristics of a scatter plot and a bar chart, typically consisting of a line segment and a circle. The length of the line segment and the size or position of the circle can be used to represent the magnitude of the value.
Input
The input file should contain three columns of information:
-
ONTOLOGY: GO category (BP, CC, MF)
-
Term: GO name
-
Count: The number of enrichments on each GO

Output

Chart Description
X-axis: GO term names (Term), where each dot represents a specific GO functional term.
Y-axis: The number of enriched genes (Count) within each GO term.
Color: Different GO categories (ONTOLOGY) are distinguished by color, such as BP (Biological Process), CC (Cellular Component), and MF (Molecular Function).
Lollipop structure: Each GO term is represented by a "lollipop" – a line segment (stem) with a dot at the top. The dot displays the gene count for that GO term.
Legend: The color-coded GO categories are displayed in the legend on the right.
