Visualization of protein interaction networks: problems and solutions by Agapito Giuseppe, Guzzi Pietro, Cannataro Mario

“…Although graphs are well known data structures, there are different open problems regarding PINs visualization: the high number of nodes and connections, the heterogeneity of nodes (proteins) and edges (interactions), the possibility to annotate proteins and interactions with biological information extracted by ontologies (e.g. Gene Ontology) that enriches the PINs with semantic information, but complicates their visualization.…”
