Description

I was wondering whether it is possible to plot this split dotplot (in this case, half of a dot represents mRNA levels while the other half about protein)?

This is useful in two places: 1. when we are visualizing mRNA and protein levels of a same group of genes 2. when we are comparing two conditions (control PBMC vs stimulated PBMC etc.). Because it would avoid duplicating the gene/cell type names and save half the space compared to this one:

Thanks

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Review the existing dotplot behavior against the two illustrated use cases: split mRNA/protein values and split conditions. Done should provide a defined way to render two measurements or conditions in one shared dotplot without duplicating gene or cell-type labels.
