ABSTRACT
Bokeh is an interactive visualization library that runs in a web browser. It mimics the style of D3.js, a popular library for web graphics made in JavaScript. It also has taken ideas from MATLAB. Bokeh library has two main components; first a JavaScript library called BokehJS that runs in the browser. This library is used to render the graphics and also to provide interaction such as zoom, pan, and save. A heatmap is a graphic of a matrix where each value is represented as a color, usually the intensity of the color is proportional with the value assigned to its position. There are a lot of uses of heatmaps in biology. Chord diagrams are used to represent inter-relationships among data in a matrix. The data is arranged radially around a circle with the relationships between the points drawn as arcs connecting the data.
