Welcome to the CellMaps wiki!
CellMaps is a web-based application that allows researchers to easily model, integrate, visualize and analyze biological networks.
CellMaps implements several networks and functional analysis, more and new analysis are easily integrated through the plugin framework developed. Some of the main features implemented include: importing local or remote files (most common formats are supported), loading attributes files for nodes and edges that allow researchers to filter and select subnetworks, several layouts available through Graphviz package, an analysis plugin framework to easily extend the core functionality, an user registration to save and store sessions remotely so users can work from several computers.
CellMaps is implemented using HTML5 and SVG open standards, thus it runs in modern web browsers without any other plugin or technology such as Flash or Java Applets. Therefore, no installation or updates is needed, all computation is executed in our servers and biological data is taken from CellBase web services, so users can build up their networks from Reactome or IntAct data, or visualize rich widgets containing many relevant information about genes or proteins such as miRNA, TFBS or mutations. This architecture makes CellMaps easily embeddable in any web application such as RENATO.
