Proteomics
Volcano plots are a type of scatter plot that visually represent the relationship between statistical significance and magnitude of change in proteomics data, helping researchers quickly identify significant proteins. These plots typically display fold change on the x-axis and significance (often as negative log of p-value) on the y-axis, making it easy to see which proteins are differentially expressed between experimental conditions. This graphical representation is especially useful in analyzing data from experiments involving label-free quantification methods and various statistical methods for interpreting proteomics results.
