Cytoscape (CS) is a multi-platform open-source tool for visualising interaction networks and integrating them with annotations, multi-omic profiles and other state data. Although Cytoscape was originally designed for biological research, now it is a general platform for complex network analysis and visualization.
Course goals
During this 2-days preparatory course, participants will learn how to:
- Effectively use the Cytoscape (CS) interface with it’s various options
- Prepare data (and various formats) for use in Cytoscape
- Load data into CS
- Manipulate nodes and edges in the network
- Visualise data on the nodes, and apply layouts
After the course you will be able to independently work with Cytoscape and perform basic network and data manipulation tasks in CS. The course focuses on hands-on mode, i.e. the participants will be trying during the course itself what they learn.
:point_right: NOTE: This is an introductory course to Cytoscape and is a basic requirement for future [intended] intermediate Cytoscape and advance Cytoscape courses.
Requirements
Laptop and enthusiasm.
No prior knowledge of programing is required.
A rough idea about networks will be useful but not necessary.
This is a Level 1 introductory course, therefore no prior knowledge is required. You will need your own computer with Cytoscape installed.
