## Abstract

MOTIVATION: Venn and Euler diagrams are a popular yet inadequate solution for quantitative visualization of set intersections. A scalable alternative to Venn and Euler diagrams for visualizing intersecting sets and their properties is needed. RESULTS: We developed UpSetR, an open source R package that employs a scalable matrix-based visualization to show intersections of sets, their size, and other properties. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: UpSetR is available at https://github.com/hms-dbmi/UpSetR/ and released under the MIT License. A Shiny app is available at https://gehlenborglab.shinyapps.io/upsetr/ . CONTACT: nils@hms.harvard.edu. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
