JANet

JANet (Javascript AgeFactDB Network-viewer) is a specialized 3D Network Exploration and Visualization for Lifespan Data Exploration from AgeFactDB.

Features

• Interactive 3D network visualization (rotate, zoom, etc.)
  • 2D representation
  • Stereo representation (side by side)
  • 3D beamer mode (condensed side by side stereo, converted for shutter glasses)
    
• Ageing-related network data (AgeFactDB)
  • Lifespan observations
  • Ageing factors
  • Augmentation nodes (e.g.: allele types, citations)
• Augmentation with external domain knowledge
  • Gene Ontology (GO)
  • KEGG Pathways
• Genes of interest analysis (e.g.: differentially expressed genes)
• Scripting language
  
  • JANet-specific API

Installation

The viewer can be started directly from the server at
https://sysbio.uni-ulm.de/software/janet
or the source code can be downloaded for local installation
(https://sysbio.uni-ulm.de/software/janet/latest.zip).

For a local installation there are two options:

1. Extract the archive somewhere in the file system.
2. Install a web server locally and extract the archive somewhere below the server root directory.
3. Install a neo4j server
4. python 3.5 or above is required.
