Interactive exploration of heterogeneous biological networks with Biomine Explorer

Abstract Summary Biomine Explorer is a web application that enables interactive exploration of large heterogeneous biological networks constructed from selected publicly available biological knowledge sources. It is built on top of Biomine, a system which integrates cross-references from several biological databases into a large heterogeneous probabilistic network. Biomine Explorer offers user-friendly interfaces for search, visualization, exploration and manipulation as well as public and private storage of discovered subnetworks with permanent links suitable for inclusion into scientific publications. A JSON-based web API for network search queries is also available for advanced users. Availability and implementation Biomine Explorer is implemented as a web application, which is publicly available at https://biomine.ijs.si. Registration is not required but registered users can benefit from additional features such as private network repositories.
