ABSTRACT

Metabolic pathway, represented by well-displayed graph, have a complex binding structure,which makes the graphical representation hard to visualize. To apply automatic graph layout techniques to the genome-scale metabolic flow of metabolism domains, it is very important to reduce unnecessary edge crossing on a metabolic pathway layout. we proposed a metabolic pathway layout algorithm based on 3-layer layout. Our algorithm searches any meaningful component existing in a pathway, such as circular components, highly connected nodes, and the components are drawn in middle layer. Then the remaining subgraphs except meaningful components are drawn in upper and lower layer by utilizing a new radial layout algorithm. It reduces ultimately reduced the number of edge crossings. Our algorithm solve the problem that edge crossings exponentially increase as the number of nodes grows.
