Abstract Details

2008, Master of Sciences (Engineering), Case Western Reserve University, Computing and Information Science.
Among the current metabolism pathway web data sources, those that visualize metabolic pathway graphs in a static way often use manually drawn layouts while those that visualize in a dynamic ways often use automatic layout algorithms. Manually drawn layouts are often just for single pathways, but not for networks involving several pathways. Automatic layout algorithms are basically designed for general graphs, and do not satisfy biologist's needs for metabolic pathway visualization. Therefore, in this thesis, we propose a systematic way with a series of methods to generate layouts for metabolic pathway graphs, independent of the number of pathways involved, utilizing the information extracted from hand-drawn single pathway graph layouts. We have implemented and evaluated our methodology in the PathCase [4] system, a web-based data source for metabolic pathways.
