Abstract Motivation Venn and Euler diagrams are a popular yet inadequate solution for
quantitative visualization of set intersections. A scalable alternative to Venn and Euler
diagrams for visualizing intersecting sets and their properties is needed. Results We
developed UpSetR, an open source R package that employs a scalable matrix-based
visualization to show intersections of sets, their size, and other properties. Availability and
