Signalling maps in cancer research: construction and data analysis.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation | 2018

Generation and usage of high-quality molecular signalling network maps can be augmented by standardizing notations, establishing curation workflows and application of computational biology methods to exploit the knowledge contained in the maps. In this manuscript, we summarize the major aims and challenges of assembling information in the form of comprehensive maps of molecular interactions. Mainly, we share our experience gained while creating the Atlas of Cancer Signalling Network. In the step-by-step procedure, we describe the map construction process and suggest solutions for map complexity management by introducing a hierarchical modular map structure. In addition, we describe the NaviCell platform, a computational technology using Google Maps API to explore comprehensive molecular maps similar to geographical maps and explain the advantages of semantic zooming principles for map navigation. We also provide the outline to prepare signalling network maps for navigation using the NaviCell platform. Finally, several examples of cancer high-throughput data analysis and visualization in the context of comprehensive signalling maps are presented.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


Identifiers.org (tool)

RRID:SCR_003735

A system providing resolvable persistent Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) used to identify data for the scientific community, with a current focus on the Life Sciences domain. The provision of resolvable identifiers (URLs) fits well with the Semantic Web vision, and the Linked Data initiative. It provides direct access to the identified data using one chosen physical location (or resource). If more than one physical locations providing the data are recorded in the Registry, then you can access them via the top banner or by using a profile.

CellDesigner: A modeling tool of biochemical networks (tool)

RRID:SCR_007263

CellDesigner is a structured diagram editor for drawing gene-regulatory and biochemical networks. Networks are drawn based on the process diagram, with graphical notation system proposed by Kitano, and are stored using the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML), a standard for representing models of biochemical and gene-regulatory networks. Networks are able to link with simulation and other analysis packages through Systems Biology Workbench (SBW). By using CellDesigner, you can browse and modify existing SBML models with references to existing databases, simulate and view the dynamics through an intuitive graphical interface. Sponsors: ERATO-SORST program (JST); International Standard Development area of the International Joint Research Grant (NEDO); Strategic Japanese-Swedish Cooperative Program on Multidisciplinary BIO (JST-VINNOVA/SSF); Establishment of a Human Genome Network Platform (MEXT) and through the special coordination funds for promoting science and technology from the Japanese government''s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) Keywords: Cell, Designer, Gene, Biochemical, Network, Diagram, Biology, System, Gene, Biolohy, Database,
