xiNET is a visualization tool for exploring cross-linking/mass spectrometry results. The interactive maps of the cross-link network that it generates are a type of node-link diagram. In these maps xiNET displays: (1) residue resolution positional information including linkage sites and linked peptides; (2) all types of cross-linking reaction product; (3) ambiguous results; and, (4) additional sequence information such as domains. xiNET runs in a browser and exports vector graphics which can be edited in common drawing packages to create publication quality figures.
xiNET is open source, released under the Apache version 2 license. Results can be viewed by uploading data to http://crosslinkviewer.org/ or by downloading the software from http://github.com/colin-combe/crosslink-viewer and running it locally.
xiNET是一种用于探索交联/质谱结果的可视化工具。它生成的交联网络交互式图谱是一种节点-链接图。在这些图谱中,xiNET显示:(1) 残基分辨率位置信息,包括连接位点和连接的肽段;(2) 所有类型的交联反应产物;(3) 模糊结果;以及(4) 其他序列信息,如结构域。xiNET在浏览器中运行,并导出矢量图形,这些图形可在常见绘图软件包中编辑以创建具有出版质量的图表。
xiNET是开源的,根据Apache 2.0版本许可发布。可以通过将数据上传到http://crosslinkviewer.org/ 或从http://github.com/colin-combe/crosslink-viewer下载软件并在本地运行来查看结果。
