title: ANDVisio: a new tool for graphic visualization and analysis of literature mined associative gene networks in the ANDSystem.
abstract: The ANDVisio tool is designed to reconstruct and analyze associative gene networks in the earlier developed Associative Network Discovery System (ANDSystem) software package. The ANDSystem incorporates utilities for automated extraction of knowledge from Pubmed published scientific texts, analysis of factographic databases, also the ANDCell database containing information on molecular-genetic events retrieved from texts and databases. ANDVisio is a new user's interface to the ANDCell database stored in a remote server. ANDVisio provides graphic visualization, editing, search, also saving of associative gene networks in different formats resulting from user's request. The associative gene networks describe semantic relationships between molecular-genetic objects (proteins, genes, metabolites and others), biological processes, and diseases. ANDVisio is provided with various tools to support filtering by object types, relationships between objects and information sources; graph layout; search of the shortest pathway; cycles in graphs.
