VitaPad: visualization tools for the analysis of pathway data.
BACKGROUND
Packages that support the creation of pathway diagrams are limited by their inability to be readily extended to new classes of pathway-related data.


RESULTS
VitaPad is a cross-platform application that enables users to create and modify biological pathway diagrams and incorporate microarray data with them. It improves on existing software in the following areas: (i) It can create diagrams dynamically through graph layout algorithms. (ii) It is open-source and uses an open XML format to store data, allowing for easy extension or integration with other tools. (iii) It features a cutting-edge user interface with intuitive controls, high-resolution graphics and fully customizable appearance.
