The expression rates are usually given as fold change, which describes the over- or under-expression of each gene. Each gene can be part of one or more biological pathways. A pathway models the interactions between molecules in an organism that lead to a particular chemical change. Consequently, many applications in medical research need to analyze the impact of gene expression changes on the biological pathways of an organism. It allows concluding diseases or other conditions of the organism. We present a web-based visual analytics application that facilitates exploring the network of biological pathways corresponding to a given set of genes. The network is constructed from pathways derived from an external database. Users can interactively zoom and filter the network and get details on demand. Our application is currently work in progress and is developed in close collaboration with medical researchers. In subsequent steps, we strive to add more features, such as the ability to compare data from different individuals or to visualize time series data. Furthermore, we want to extend our application to visualize not just transcriptomics but multi-omics data.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseHuman centered computingVisualization systems and toolsApplied computingSystems biologyTranscriptomics10.2312/eurp.2020112441-43
