Visualization of tissue-specific functional gene networks

About

GIANT allows prediction and visualization of gene networks that capture tissue-specific functional interactions.

This module is a connector to GIANT, which enables (i) visualizing gene networks using the BioJS snippet server, and (ii) embedding network graphs in other websites using simple API calls.

Getting Started

Installing from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/FunctionLab/giant-api-biojs.git
cd giant-api-biojs
npm install
npm run build
npm run w

You can now visit http://localhost:9090/examples on your browser to experiment with demos.

Using NPM

To install as a Node dependency:

npm install giant-api-biojs

Then, in JavaScript:

var giant = require('giant-api-biojs');
giant.graphBasic({el: myDiv, tissue: 'Osteoblast', genes: 'LEF1'});

This will display the requested gene network in a DIV identified by id='myDiv'.
