The *sechm* package is essentially a convenient wrapper around the
*[ComplexHeatmap](https://jokergoo.github.io/ComplexHeatmap-reference/book/)*
engine, facilitating the creation of heatmaps from
*[SummarizedExperiment](https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.10/SummarizedExperiment)*
objects. This was formerly part of the [SEtools](https://github.com/plger/SEtools) package.
Install with:
```r
BiocManager::install("plger/sechm")
```
Example usage:
```r
sechm(SE, features=myGenes, top_annotation="Time", do.scale=TRUE, gaps_at="Condition",
mark=c("Gm14288","Fos","Arc"))
```
