J-Viewer (Introduction)

The J-Viewer of the Pathway Database System consists of two components: J-Pathway Browser and J-Pathway Viewer. The J-Pathway Browser Tool is a tool that hierarchically lists the pathways, processes, and molecular entities in the database, and allows users to (a) view textual information, and (b) launch the J-Pathway Viewer that visualizes pathway graphs.

The J-Pathway Viewer of the Pathway System provides a visual interface to biochemical pathways stored in the underlying database. The Pathway Viewer is basically a graph drawing and manipulation tool. J-Pathway Viewer provides an intuitive and highly visual means for biochemists to study, query, and curate biological pathways. The tool supports ad-hoc querying of the pathways data as well as menu-driven queries.

Note: J-Viewer has lesser functionality than the PathwayBrowser (.net version), and the data comes from the older database with 38 pathways.

Main features of J-Viewer include:
  • Search entity on the graph
  • Hide and display nodes
  • Set graph object properties
  • Zoom in/out
  • Allow editing the graphs
  • Save and open graphs locally
  • Initiate queries
  • Split nodes
  • Set common molecules
