BioVenn: Create Area-Proportional Venn Diagrams from Biological Lists

Draw an area-proportional Venn diagram of 2 or 3 circles

The draw_venn function creates an area-proportional Venn diagram of 2 or 3 circles, based on lists of (biological) identifiers. It requires three parameters: input lists X, Y and Z. For a 2-circle Venn diagram, one of these lists should be left empty. Duplicate identifiers are removed automatically, and a mapping from Entrez and/or Affymetrix to Ensembl IDs is available. BioVenn is case-sensitive. In SVG mode, text and numbers can be dragged and dropped.

Returns

An image of the Venn diagram is generated in the desired output format.
Also returns an object with thirteen lists: X, Y, Z, X only, Y only, Z only, XY, XZ, YZ, XY only, XZ only, YZ only, XYZ.
