CytoService

Proposal

We are building a visualization for splice variant information for genes. This is a modular implementation, comprising the viewer (client), the service, and the database. We anticipate that this work can be generalized to an API for others to be able to develop and provide services in Cytoscape. This generalization is dependent upon the re-layering of the Cytoscape architecture.

Background

A major new feature of Cytoscape version 2.6 is the BioWebServiceConnectivity interface, which allows Cytoscape plugin developers to write clients that connect to web services. From a different perspective, we are developing a plugin that will have both client and service components, and an underlying database that will be accessed via the service.
