Recently, I have analysed a number of RNA-seq experiments. Often these experiments have multiple conditions so it is possible to perform several different pair-wise comparisons. After doing a number of these pair-wise comparisons, my collaborators invariably ask for the overlap between the gene-lists - or better yet a Venn diagram of them.
So, I wrote a web tool, Vennt, that draws Venn diagrams for gene lists. Venn diagrams for up to 4 lists are drawn, and we can dynamically adjust the thresholds for significance, and get the explicit gene list for the various overlaps.
It's easy to use for your own from a CSV file of your gene lists. Just follow the instructions. Try it out, and let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: keep in mind that Venn diagrams for gene lists from differential expression experiments is often misleading. Primarily due to the arbitrary thresholds we use. I have been known to explain this to collaborators at length, perhaps this tool is my attempt at venting... However, from using this tool I have actually found that it can be a useful way to explore your gene expression data.
