Abstract

A visual Java-based tool for drawing and annotating biological pathways was developed. This tool integrates the possibilities of charting elements with different attributes (size, color, labels), drawing connections between elements in distinct characteristics (color, structure, width, arrows), as well as adding links to molecular biology databases, promoter sequences, information on the function of the genes or gene products, and references. It is easy to use and system independent. The result of the editing process is a PNG (portable network graphics) file for the images and XML (extended markup language) file for the appropriate links.

摘要

开发了一种基于Java的可视化工具，用于绘制和注释生物途径。该工具整合了绘制具有不同属性（大小、颜色、标签）的图表元素的功能，绘制具有不同特征（颜色、结构、宽度、箭头）的元素之间的连接，以及添加到分子生物学数据库、启动子序列、基因或基因产物功能信息和参考文献的链接。它易于使用且与系统无关。编辑过程的结果是生成一个用于图像的PNG（便携式网络图形）文件和一个用于相应链接的XML（可扩展标记语言）文件。
