Abstract:
Biological pathways have become the standard way to represent the
coordinated reactions and actions of a series of molecules in a cell. A
series of interconnected pathways is referred to as a biological
network, which denotes a more holistic view on the entanglement of
cellular reactions. Biological pathways and networks are not only an
appropriate approach to visualize molecular reactions. They have also
become one leading method in -omics data analysis and visualization.
Here, we review a set of pathway and network visualization and analysis
methods and take a look at potential future developments in the field.
