The recently proposed Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN) provides a standard for the visual representation of biochemical and cellular processes. It aims to support more efficient and accurate communication of biological knowledge between different research communities in the life sciences. However, to increase the use of SBGN, tools for editing, validating and translating SBGN maps are desirable.
We present SBGN-ED, a tool which allows the creation of all three types of SBGN maps from scratch or the editing of existing maps, the validation of these maps for syntactical and semantical correctness, the translation of networks from the KEGG and MetaCrop databases into SBGN and the export of SBGN maps into several file and image formats.
SBGN-ED is freely available from http://vanted.ipk-gatersleben.de/addons/sbgn-ed. The web site contains also tutorials and example files.
最近提出的系统生物学图形符号 (SBGN) 为生化和细胞过程的可视化表示提供了一个标准。它旨在支持生命科学不同研究领域之间更高效、更准确地交流生物学知识。然而,为了增加 SBGN 的使用,编辑、验证和翻译 SBGN 图的工具是需要的。
我们介绍了 SBGN-ED,这是一个工具,它允许从 scratch 创建所有三种类型的 SBGN 图或编辑现有的图,对这些图进行语法和语义正确性的验证,将来自 KEGG 和 MetaCrop 数据库的网络翻译成 SBGN,并将 SBGN 图导出到几个文件和图像格式。
