Is there some software that will allow me to create a bar graph which automatically places the sample size label above the error bar for each bar? I work in a biology lab, and I have to make a lot of bar graphs which would be suitable for a scientific journal publication. I usually make these graphs in Excel. However, I have to manually create text boxes to put the sample size above the error bar of each bar, and this can be time consuming. Ideally, I would also like the created graph to be editable in powerpoint. The sample size labels may need to be adjusted as well as the x and y axis labels.

Hi Azim58,
AFAIK, it is quite hard combining MS-Office-based and still editable graphs with the requirements for publications. If you have a bit of time, I'd recommend to learn the R language. There are a lot of galleries online which show you how to draw certain graphs. Moreover, you can export the R graphs into many formats and different resolutions. Thus, you'll meet the requirements fro publication (e.g. a eps file with 600 dpi).
For your problem you can have a look here.
Cheers,
Michael

For adding error bars (there is a bit more coding involved) you can use the arrow function in R.
There are a couple of blogs how to do that. For example, have a look at Monkey's Uncle from Stanford.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
