Module 3 Pathway and Network Analysis
Module 3: Pathway and Network Analysis bioinformatics.ca Network Visualization Outline Automatic network layout Visual features Visually interpreting a network
Module 3: Pathway and Network Analysis bioinformatics.ca Automatic network layout
Module 3: Pathway and Network Analysis bioinformatics.ca Automatic network layout Force-directed: nodes repel and edges pull Good for up to 500 nodes – Bigger networks give hairballs - Reduce number of edges Advice: try force directed first, or hierarchical for tree-like networks Tips for better looking networks – Manually adjust layout – Load network into a drawing program (e.g. Illustrator) and adjust labels
Focus Overview Zoom PKC Cell Wall Integrity
Module 3: Pathway and Network Analysis bioinformatics.ca Visual Features Node and edge attributes – String, integer, float, Boolean, list – E.g. represent gene, interaction attributes Visual attributes – Node, edge visual properties – Colour, shape, size, borders, opacity...
Module 3: Pathway and Network Analysis bioinformatics.ca Visual Features Guilt-by-association Dense clusters Global relationships
Module 3: Pathway and Network Analysis bioinformatics.ca Network Representations
Module 3: Pathway and Network Analysis bioinformatics.ca What Have We Learned? Automatic layout is required to visualize networks Networks help you visualize interesting relationships in your data Avoid hairballs by focusing analysis Visual attributes enable multiple types of data to be shown at once – useful to see their relationships
