Comparison of metabolic pathways using constraint graph drawing
Falk Schreiber · 2003
Databases contain a large amount of data about metabolic pathways, in particular about similar pathways in di#erent species. Biologists are familiar with visual representations of metabolic pathways. Visualizations help them to understand the complex relationships between the components of the pathways, to extract information from the data, and to compare pathways between di#erent species. However, visual interfaces to metabolic pathway databases cannot cope well with the visual comparison of similar pathways in di#erent species.
