A reusable table component built with D3 and jQuery DataTables displays gene expression data with columns for GeneID, LogFC, AvgExpr, Log2Sigma, color, symbol, p-value, and x/y coordinates. The component is implemented as a closure with setters and getters, allowing it to be configured without hardcoding data-specific attributes. A dispatcher broadcasts `highlight` and `select` events triggered by table interactions, and a listening div updates its text content in response. This modular design keeps the table decoupled from the data structure while enabling responsive behavior through event-driven communication.

AI-generated description

This is an exmaple of resuable components using d3. They are described as 'closures (i.e. functions) with setters and getters'. In this example, _table is the closure.

To make the component responsive, we add a dispatcher which broadcasts events happening inside the component to all listeners. In this example, a div listens to highlight and select events from the table, and changes its text accordingly.

Notice that I didn't assume anything about the data other that its structure. Also, I didn't hardcode any data-specific attributes.
