ProteinWeaver: Visualizing Biological Networks in their Functional Context

Under the guidance of Dr. Anna Ritz at Reed College and in collaboration with Altaf Barelvi, we developed a webtool that enables user to visualize molecular interaction networks in the context of a particular biological function or process.

ProteinWeaver is a tool that answers the simple question: How does a particular protein connect to a particular pathway or process? To accomplish this, ProteinWeaver visualizes molecular interaction networks in the context of a user-specified Gene Ontology term. To learn more about ProteinWeaver you can visit the official ProteinWeaver website or the GitHub repository.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Altaf Barelvi and Dr. Anna Ritz on this project.
