Abstract
Method/system for visualizing biological information. The system receives a user query relating to biological information and determines which database contains related biological information. A database query is sent to the database and the result indicates biological/chemical entities and relations. A network is created based on the result; biological/chemical entities are mapped to network nodes and relations to network connections. A distance matrix indicates a multi-dimensional distance for several pairs of network nodes. A dimensionality reduction function is adjusted based on a research context, to bias the search toward a relevant focus. The number of dimensions in the distance matrix is lowered by the dimensionality reduction function. Neighbors of a selected node are searched (-) based on the distance matrix to elucidate a biological role of the selected node. A re-created network is visualized (-) based on the adjusted dimensionality reduction function.
