MAVisto

MAVisto identifies and visualizes network motifs to analyze recurring patterns in biological networks.

Key Features:

• Flexible Motif Search Algorithm: Provides an adaptable motif search algorithm that allows customization of search criteria for motif identification in biological networks.
• Comprehensive Analysis Views: Includes multiple analysis views for examining the structural and functional properties of discovered network motifs.
• Advanced Visualization Options: Implements visualization routines to represent network motifs and support interpretation of complex network data.

Scientific Applications:

• Systems Biology: Detects recurring network patterns to inform studies of biological functions and processes in systems biology.
• Regulatory Mechanism Analysis: Identifies motifs that may play roles in regulatory mechanisms and other network-driven phenomena.

Methodology:

A flexible motif search algorithm is used to detect motifs, with subsequent analysis views and visualization routines applied to examine structural and functional properties of the discovered motifs.
