contents Visualization of multidimensional, categorical data is a common challenge across scientific areas and, in particular, the life sciences. The goal is to create a comprehensive overview of the underlying data which allows to assess multiple variables intuitively. One application where such visualizations are particularly useful is pathway analysis, where we check for dysregulation in known biological regulatory mechanisms and functions across multiple conditions. Here, we propose a new visualization approach that codes such data in a comprehensive and intuitive representation: Dice plots visualize up to four distinct categorical classes in a single view that consist of multiple elements resembling the faces of dice, whereas domino plots add an additional layer of information for binary comparison. The code is available as the diceplot R package, as pydiceplot on pip and at https://github.com/maflot.
