As a prerequisite for invoking the volcano plot, you must run a Differential gene expression analysis. When setting-up the analysis, include all relevant contrasts you would like to view the volcano plots for.

Once the analysis is complete, open the resulting Feature list data node. Navigate to the Gene list section of the page and click on the volcano plot icon, located above the header of a Fold change column (Figure 1).

The remaining genes are in grey (Figure 2). The plot header is derived from the name of the contrast.
