Layouting accorind celluar localization
  • John Price March 2011
    Hi,

    I have a network and I can apply layout algorithms provided in your software (hierarchical, spring, etc). But I need my nodes to be automatically grouped by their subcellular localization.
    Currently I have to manually move nodes around to group
    them by localization. Is there a way to do this layout automatically?

    Thanks.

    Sorry, Layouting according to cellular localization, in the title.

    Hi John,

    currently this can be done by selection of genes/proteins by localization property, putting them into a meta-node (e.g. nucleus, cytoplasm, etc.) and applying layouts to different meta-nodes or to the whole network of meta-nodes. So right mouse click,
    chose the "Select by attribute" -> choose the localization value property (e.g. nucleus), then on the selected genes/protein by right mouse click choose "Create a meta-node" and name it respectively (e.g. "Nucleus"), after putting all your genes/proteins in respective meta-nodes you can layout your meta-node network or nodes inside every meta-node separately.

    We are working on the automatic "layout by localization" algorithm that will be available in the set of custom layouts.

    Thanks.
