Abstract

In this issue of Immunity, Obermoser et al. (2013) systematically analyze and compare the blood-transcriptomic response of the pneumococcal and influenza vaccines in humans over multiple time points spanning hours to tens of days. They then present web-based interactive figures that facilitate exploration of this large, complex data set.

The top panel depicts the study design: three parallel arms for saline, influenza or pneumococcal vaccine injections respectively; these arms were performed twice in different cohorts, once for profiling samples from early time-points in the scale of hours and the other for time-points in the scale of days following injection. This study generates large-scale data that can be further explored with interactive,, which accelerate finding answers to specific questions.
