Arena3Dweb

Arena3Dweb visualizes multi-layered graphs in three-dimensional space to enable exploration and integration of complex network relationships.


Key Features:

  • Interactive 3D Visualization: Visualizes multiple networks simultaneously within a single 3D view and represents both intra-layer and inter-layer connections.
  • Customizable Layouts: Provides multiple layout algorithms that can be applied to selected layers individually or in combination.
  • Dynamic Manipulation: Supports translation, rotation, and scaling of individual layers and the entire 3D scene.
  • Visual Customization: Allows customization of node and edge attributes including colors, positions, and sizes.
  • Support for Graph Types: Accommodates weighted and unweighted undirected graphs.

Scientific Applications:

  • Biomedical data integration: Integrates heterogeneous biomedical datasets into coherent multi-layer network representations.
  • Drug repurposing for SARS-CoV-2: Applied in case studies for drug repurposing research related to SARS-CoV-2.
  • GPCR signaling in melanoma: Used to analyze GPCR signaling pathways implicated in melanoma.

Methodology:

Implemented using R, Shiny, and JavaScript.
