MetaboCraft

MetaboCraft visualizes metabolomic networks and pathways as interactive 3D models within the Minecraft platform to enable exploration and interpretation of experimental metabolomics data.

Key Features:

• Immersive 3D Visualization: Leverages the Minecraft engine to generate three-dimensional representations of metabolic networks and pathways.
• Interactive Exploration: Enables real-time interaction and manipulation of 3D metabolic models to support dynamic exploration and hypothesis generation.
• Integration of Experimental Results: Overlays user-generated experimental metabolomics data onto the 3D network visualizations to contextualize empirical findings.

Scientific Applications:

• Educational Tool: Supports teaching of metabolic pathways and metabolomics concepts through interactive 3D visualization.
• Research and Development: Facilitates exploration of metabolic interactions and hypothesis generation by allowing simulation of experimental conditions within the 3D models.
• Data Interpretation and Presentation: Enhances interpretation and presentation of metabolomics datasets by mapping experimental data onto intuitive metabolic network visualizations.

Methodology:

Transforms static metabolic data into dynamic, interactive 3D models using the Minecraft platform and overlays user-generated experimental metabolomics data onto the visualized networks.
