Programming languages are R or python for the pipeline scripting, Java for the app development.
#USING CYTOSCAPE HOW TO#
Brainstorming about how to use Cytoscape in R or python workflows to improve proteomics data analysis. Brainstorming about what features and apps are missing and if they could be implemented. Short tutorial on how to develop a Cytoscape app. Introduction to Cytoscape and major apps with potential use in proteomics. The developed apps could be released in the Cytoscape App store and published in the F1000 Cytoscape channel. We would like to also discuss how this API could be used for the automation of proteomics analysis workflows. The Cytoscape community also maintains a REST API that enables Cytoscape and most of its apps to be used from R and python in a more automated way. This encompasses a variety of uses, from network biology to social network analysis. If you do not know how to develop a Cytoscape app, we could train you on this point. Cytoscape.js is a graph theory library for analysis and visualization. It was developed for biologists, but it core functions are domain-independent and you can use it for all types of network data. It has a rich ecosystem for network analysis and visualization, and this Jupyter Widget is part of it. Recently, we also released the OmicsVizualizer app, which further aids the stringApp in omics data visualization with a special focus on analyzing phosphoproteomics data.ĭuring the hackathon, we would like to discuss usability of Cytoscape and corresponding apps for the proteomics community and brainstorm for new features of the existing apps or new apps that could be developed during the meeting. Cytoscape is a de-facto standard software for biological network analysis and visualization. #USING CYTOSCAPE INSTALL#
To run the app below, run pip install dash dash-cytoscape. The stringApp has been downloaded more than 50 000 times since its first release in 2015. Using the snippet provided a bit further down launch a Dash app that contains an animation. It can be used to retrieve and analyze STRING networks in Cytoscape in order to analyze long lists of genes or proteins resulting from high-throughput experiments such as proteomics ( Doncheva et. An example for such an app, developed in our group, is the stringApp. Developers can add new features to Cytoscape by developing their own Java-based apps by utilizing the Cytoscape API. Cytoscape is an open-source software to visualize and analyze biological networks.
