# Viewing a dot plot for a gene

In addition to the volcano plot showing all genes, we can view expression levels of each gene on a dot plot.

* Double-click the **Filtered feature list** data node to open the task report
* Click the **FDR step up** header in the 5uM vs. 0uM section to sort by ascending FDR step up

In the task report table, there is a column labeled View with three icons ![Chromosome icon](https://1384254481-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVEESmJAPppJ3ijFq5aR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-04cd38e5536f0be01f906e1ab67bbe9d1f7c6980%2Fchromosome-icon.png?alt=media) ![Scatter plot icon](https://1384254481-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVEESmJAPppJ3ijFq5aR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-233ea4641f896a016fd835fa11a3d7528c94930b%2Fscatter-plot-icon.png?alt=media) ![Notebook icon](https://1384254481-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVEESmJAPppJ3ijFq5aR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-6f33880235899116af19939988b2b3aa2f5f4f55%2Fnotebook-icon.png?alt=media) in each row.

* Select ![Scatter plot icon](https://1384254481-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVEESmJAPppJ3ijFq5aR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-233ea4641f896a016fd835fa11a3d7528c94930b%2Fscatter-plot-icon.png?alt=media) to open a dot plot for the gene KLHDC7B

The dot plot for KLHDC7B (Figure 1) shows each sample as a point with normalized reads count on the y-axis. Samples are separated and colored by treatment group.

For more information about the dot plot, please see the [Dot Plot](https://help.connected.illumina.com/partek/partek-flow/user-manual/visualizations/dot-plot) user guide. To return to the DESeq2 report, switch to the browser table with filtered feature list.

In the DESeq2 report, you can select ![Notebook icon](https://1384254481-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVEESmJAPppJ3ijFq5aR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-6f33880235899116af19939988b2b3aa2f5f4f55%2Fnotebook-icon.png?alt=media) to view additional information about the statistical results for a gene or select ![Chromosome icon](https://1384254481-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVEESmJAPppJ3ijFq5aR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-04cd38e5536f0be01f906e1ab67bbe9d1f7c6980%2Fchromosome-icon.png?alt=media) to view the region in Chromosome View. Chromosome View is discussed in the next section of the tutorial.
