Why it matters in GWAS

Supplementary code for meta-analysis forest plots, regional zooms, and diagnostic panels is often written in ggplot2; reading published pipelines assumes familiarity with its layering model and scales.

Example usage

"The forest plot of per-cohort effects was assembled with ggplot2 and patchwork for multi-panel layout."

Click any node to open that term page.

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
