K-viz: Kegg Based Visualization for Comparing Metabolic Pathways
نویسندگان
چکیده
The comparison of metabolic pathway in different species is important in detecting a missing gene. There are many visualization tools for metabolic pathway. However, biologists need not only visualization of one pathway but also visualization for comparison among pathways. K-Viz is a tool for visualization of metabolic pathway based on KEGG. To compare among pathways in different species, K-Viz uses different colors on each species for path expression such as PathComp in KEGG and shows the table of path in pathway. K-Viz helps biologists to understand the comparison among metabolic pathways in different species.

PathExpress is a web-based tool developed to interpret gene expression data obtained from microarray experiments by identifying the most relevant metabolic pathways associated with a subset of genes (e.g. differentially expressed genes). A graphical pathway representation permits the visualization of the expressed genes in a functional context. Based on the publicly accessible KEGG Ligand datab...

We present two tools, MPath2PN and CoMeta, which are part of an ongoing project for representing and comparing metabolic pathways as Petri Nets. MPath2PN is intended to support an automatic translation of metabolic pathways from the major biological databases into corresponding Petri nets expressed in the input formalisms for Petri net tools. CoMeta is devised to compare metabolic pathways of d...

Biological pathways can be characterized as networks and grouped as metabolic pathways, gene regulatory networks, gene interaction networks and signal transduction pathways. It is important that edge crossings in biological pathway diagrams are kept to a minimum by strategic placement of vertices for simplification. The basic graph layout technique deals with the problem of positioning the vert...
