Visualization and analysis of 3D multi-edged and multi-layered biological networks
Summary:
Εfficient integration and visualization of heterogeneous biomedical information in a single view is
a key challenge. In this study, we present Arena3Dweb, the first, fully interactive and dependencyfree, web application which allows the visualization of multilayered graphs in 3D space, as well as
its new features. With Arena3Dweb, users can integrate multiple networks in a single view along
with their intra- and inter-layer connections. For clearer and more informative views, users can
choose between a plethora of layout and clustering algorithms and apply them to a set of
selected layers either individually or in combination. Users can align networks and highlight node
topological features, whereas each layer, as well as the whole scene, can be translated, rotated,
and scaled in 3D space. User-selected edge colors can be used to highlight important paths,
while node positioning, coloring, and resizing can be adjusted on-the-fly. In its current version,
Arena3Dweb supports weighted and unweighted, directed and undirected multi-edge networks.
The application is written in R, Shiny, and JavaScript. We demonstrate the old and new
functionality of Arena3Dweb using different use-case scenarios.
