MolMap - Visualizing Molecule Libraries as Topographic Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new application for graph drawing and visualization in the context of drug discovery. Combining the scaffold-based cluster hierarchy with molecular similarity graphs — both standard concepts in cheminformatics — allows one to get new insights for analyzing large molecule libraries. The derived clustered graphs represent different aspects of structural similarity. We suggest visualizing them as topographic maps. Since the cluster hierarchy does not reflect the underlying graph structure as in (Gronemann and Jünger, 2012), we suggest a new partitioning algorithm that takes the edges of the graph into account. Experiments show that the new algorithm leads to significant improvements in terms of the edge lengths in the obtained drawings.

Assignment of EC Numbers to Enzymatic Reactions with MOLMAP Reaction Descriptors and Random Forests
The MOLMAP descriptor relies on a Kohonen SOM that defines types of covalent bonds on the basis of their physicochemical and topological properties. The MOLMAP descriptor of a molecule represents the types of bonds available in that molecule. The MOLMAP descriptor of a reaction is defined as the difference between the MOLMAPs of the products and the reactants and numerically encodes the pattern...
متن کاملPattern Identification or 3D Visualization? How Best to Learn to use Topographic Maps
Students have trouble using and interpreting topographic maps. Experienced map-users identify patterns of contour lines representing topographic structures and visualize that information in 3D. Novices struggle with both recognizing 2D patterns and visualizing 3D structures from contour lines. In this study, the Pattern Identification group received instruction focused on identifying contour pa...
متن کاملTopographic Map Visualization from Adaptively Compressed Textures
Raster-based topographic maps are commonly used in geoinformation systems to overlay geographic entities on top of digital terrain models. Using compressed texture formats for encoding topographic maps allows reducing latency times while visualizing large geographic datasets. Topographic maps encompass high-frequency content with large uniform regions, making current compressed texture formats ...
متن کاملConstructing Topographic Maps in Networked Sensor Systems
Topographic maps represent the delineation of features of interest in a terrain by means of contour lines. There are several benefits of maintaining topographic maps in sensor networks they can be used for resolving spatial queries, visualizing available resources in the network, and understanding spatio-temporal characteristics about the events being monitored. In this paper, we consider the p...
متن کاملEditorial for the Proceedings of the Workshop Knowledge Maps and Information Retrieval (KMIR2014) at Digital Libraries 2014
Knowledge maps are promising tools for visualizing the structure of large-scale information spaces, but still far away from being applicable for searching. The first international workshop on “Knowledge Maps and Information Retrieval (KMIR)”, held as part of the International Conference on Digital Libraries 2014 in London, aimed at bringing together experts in Information Retrieval (IR) and kno...
