Biolayout
Biolayout Express3D is designed for the visualisation, clustering and analysis of large network graphs in two and three dimensional space derived primarily from biological systems.
Reconceiving data as networks
Visualisation of biological data as networks is becoming increasingly popular for the analysis of 'omics' and other high dimensional data.
These data are derived from a wide variety of biological relationships, such as interactions between individuals, disease transmission, sequence similarity, metabolic pathways, protein interactions, pathway, gene regulatory cascades, gene expression, etc.
Biolayout Express3D creates large network graphs in two and three dimensional space, which is derived primarily, but not exclusively, from biological systems.
Continued development
Development of Biolayout Express3D is an ongoing collaboration between the groups of Dr Tom Freeman, Division of Pathway Medicine, University of Edinburgh and Dr Anton Enright, Sanger Institute, Cambridge.
It is directly funded by the BBSRC.
