BioNetwork Bench

A tool for manipulating and mining gene expression data and regulatory networks

NEW BioNetwork bench 1.6.4 released in May 2012. Verified to work with Cytoscape 2.5.0 and above.

Bionetwork bench is a flexible interactive database quering system for storing and manipulating gene expression data and genetic networks, constructing networks from expression data, iteratively querying multiple networks and expression datasets, and merging and re-using the results obtained.

  • Developed as a plugin for Cytoscape
  • Easy-to-navigate graphic user interface
  • Database stores public and private networks and gene expression datasets
  • Supports multiple user types, employs information hiding
  • Operations
    • Manipulating private and public data (gene expression data, networks)
    • Querying multiple private and public datasets / networks to find
    • Co-expressed genes
    • Nodes with stored and fetched annotations
    • Links with stored annotations
