GENIUS : a new tool for gene networks visualization

GENIUS is a graphical software tool for visualizing genetic networks composed by a high number of genes. It accepts as input a matrix summarizing gene relationships inferred by means of reverse engineering methods. GENIUS offers two visualization modalities (the Agorà style and the TouchGraph style), that can be exploited in a complementary way. It is thus possible to obtain a clear and easily customizable view of one or more networks of interest which allows to simplify the exploration of the inferred relationships. GENIUS is in a constant development: the algorithms on which the network visualization is based are in fact very flexible, thus offering the possibility to extend the features provided by the tool.
