## Main functionalities
Currently, `SPS` includes 3 main functional categories (*Fig 1*):
1. Some pre-defined modules ([tabs](#sps-tabs)) include:
1. A workbench for designing and configuring data analysis workflows,
2. Downstream analysis and visualization tools for RNA-Seq, and
3. A space to make quick ggplots.
2. A section with user custom tabs: users define their own shiny tabs.
3. An image editing tab “Canvas” which allows users to edit plots made from
the previous two categories.
Besides, SPS provides many functions to extend the default Shiny development, like
more UI components, server functions. Also, SPS has some useful general R ulitlies
like error catching, logging, and more.
