Visualizing Related Metabolic Pathways in Two and a Half Dimensions

چکیده
We propose a method for visualizing a set of related metabolic pathways using 2 2D graph drawing. Interdependent, twodimensional layouts of each pathway are stacked on top of each other so that biologists get a full picture of subtle and significant differences among the pathways. Layouts are determined by a global layout of the union of all pathway-representing graphs using a variant of the proven Sugiyama approach for layered graph drawing that allows edges to cross if they appear in different graphs.

متن کاملVisual Understanding of Metabolic Pathways Across Organisms Using Layout in Two and a Half Dimensions
We propose a method for visualizing a set of related metabolic pathways across organisms using 2 1/2 dimensional graph visualization. Interdependent, twodimensional layouts of each pathway are stacked on top of each other so that biologists get a full picture of subtle and significant differences among the pathways. The (dis)similarities between pathways are expressed by the Hamming distances o...
متن کاملThe Highlighted Roles of Metabolic and Cellular Response to Stress Pathways Engaged in Circulating hsa-miR-494-3p and hsa-miR-661 in Alzheimer’s Disease
Background: Among different roles of miRNAs in AD pathogenesis, hsa-miR-494-3p and hsa-miR-661 functions are poorly understood. Methods: To obtain the gene targets, gene networks, gene ontology, and enrichment analysis of the two miRNAs, some web servers were utilized. Furthermore, the expressions of these miRNAs were analyzed by qRT-PCR in 36 blood sera, including 18 Alzheimer’s patients and 1...
متن کاملMetabolic pathways in three dimensions
MOTIVATION Currently a substantial research effort is devoted to automated representation of metabolic and gene networks. Automatic visualization plays a significant role in such efforts, and becomes an important problem on its own. Graphical visualization of metabolic pathways has to be information dense and not 'overloaded', recognizable and unified, close to traditional and algebraically con...
متن کاملBioengineering of Important Secondary Metabolites and Metabolic Pathways in Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) has a long and respected history of medicinal uses in Middle East and Persian medicine. The hypocholesterolaemic and hypoglycaemic effects of fenugreek were attributed to its major steroidal sapogenin, diosgenin and its major alkaloid, trigonelline. The knowledge of diosgenin and trigonelline biosynthesis is derived from studies of cholesterol and nicoti...
