Automating biological network visualization with Jupyter Notebook

Kozo Nishida

Audience level:
Intermediate

Brief Summary

Cytoscape is the de facto standard software for biological network visualization. Cytoscape is mainly used as stand-alone desktop software. On the other hand, it has a REST server function and can be controlled with HTTP requests. In this talk, I will introduce how to use Cytoscape and Jupyter Notebook together as a biological visualization workflow automation system.
