Improvements in Bio4j Go Tools (Graph visualization)
From the website:
A new version of Bio4j Go Tools viewer is available, it includes improvements in the graph visualization of GO annotation results.
These are the new features:
- Load GO annotation results from URL: There’s no need anymore to upload the XML file with the results everytime you want to see the graph visualization. Just enter the publicly accessible URL of the file and the server will directly get the file for you.
- Restrict the visualization to only one GO sub-ontology at a time: Terms belonging to different sub-ontologies (cellular component, biological process, molecular function) are not mixed up anymore.
- Choice of layout algorithms: You can choose between two different layout algorithms for the visualization, (Yifan Hu and Fruchterman Reingold).
- Customizable layout algorithm time: Range of 1-10 minutes.
A tutorial is also linked from this page that demonstrates the features of Bio4j.
