What is it about?
This article describes how you can create Venn diagrams with the correct circle and overlap size. This application is now available in the programming languages R and Python, besides the web interface at https://www.biovenn.nl, which has been available since 2007. Input can be any list of identifiers, with built-in support for mapping of biological identifiers.

Why is it important?
Area-proportional diagrams are really useful for the visualization of overlap and uniqueness between datasets. The mapping of biological identifiers is extra functionality compared to other tools, as well as the drag-and-drop of text and numbers in SVG mode.
Perspectives
The web interface is very useful, but it doesn't allow for batch processing. Now that this package is available in R and Python, this is possible.
