RCyjs

RCyjs connects R to Cytoscape.js to enable interactive visualization and exploration of molecular interaction networks and biological pathways within bioinformatics workflows.


Key Features:

  • Integration with Bioconductor: Connects to the Bioconductor ecosystem, enabling access to over 934 interoperable packages for high-throughput genomics and molecular biology analyses.
  • Interoperability with R: Provides a programmatic interface between R and Cytoscape.js to transfer network data and attributes for combined statistical analysis and visualization.
  • Interactive Visualization: Enables interactive exploration of complex graphs, including molecular interaction networks and biological pathways.

Scientific Applications:

  • Visualization of Molecular Networks: Visualizing intricate biological pathways and interaction networks to interpret genomic and molecular data.
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Facilitating integration of statistical analyses in R with Cytoscape.js visualizations to support collaborative bioinformatics research.

Methodology:

Built on the Bioconductor framework and subject to Bioconductor's package review and continuous automated testing.
