About Cytoscape Plugins:
Cytoscape includes a flexible Plugin architecture that enables developers to add extra
functionality beyond that provided in the core. Plugins also provide a convenient place
for testing out new Cytoscape features. As more Plugins become available, they will be
listed on this page, and posted to our
cytoscape-announce
mailing list.
The plugins on this page are categorized into 7 sections:

APID2NET
Description: Plugin designed to visualize, explore and analyze the proteins and interactions retrieved from the unified interactome platform APID (which integrates BIND, BioGrid, DIP, HPRD, IncAct and MINT). The retrieved data include the annotations and attributes associated to the network: GO terms, InterPro domains, experimental methods that validate each interaction, PubMed IDs, UniProt IDs. The tool provides interactive graphical representation of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks within Cytoscape, plus new automatic tools to find hubs and concurrent attributes (functional and structural) along the protein pairs of a given network.

CentiScaPe
Description: CentiScaPe computes specific centrality parameters describing the network topology. The centrality parameters aid the users to find the most significant nodes in a complex network. The plugin computation generates both numerical and graphical output making easy to find the key nodes also in large networks. Network topological quantification can be combined with other numerical node attributes to provide biologically meaningful node identification and functional classification.

NetAtlas
Description: NetAtlas is a Java plugin application designed to use tissue gene expression data to filter genes in a cellular signaling network. The NetAtlas plugin allows the creation of tissue-defined networks, identification of network components that are more highly expressed in specific tissues, and the identification of network components that show correlated expression across tissues. The default tissue gene expression data available in NetAtlas is from SymAtlas and contains human, mouse, and rat gene expression data for a wide range of tissues and has been previously published by the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation. The user is also allowed to import their own tissue gene expression data in text file format.

NetworkAnalyzer
This plugin is not available through the Plugin Manager!
Description: NetworkAnalyzer performs analysis of biological networks and calculates network topology parameters including the diameter of a network, the average number of neighbors, and the number of connected pairs of nodes. It also computes the distributions of more complex network parameters such as node degrees, average clustering coefficients, topological coefficients, and shortest path lengths. It displays the results in diagrams, which can be saved as images or text files.

OmicsViz
This plugin is not available through the Plugin Manager!
Description: OmicsViz is a Cytoscape plugin (cytoscape2.4 and 2.5) dedicated to providing useful visualization and an integrated analysis tool for large-scale omics data. OmicsViz imports omics data into Cytoscape and visualizes it on a graph according to the change of gene experimental values (Figure 1). OmicsViz also provides a mapping function between two different species or between probe set and experimental names and node names in a network. For example, when you load an Arabidopsis metabolic pathway in Cytoscape and you have a Grape gene expression file, OmicsViz can associate the file with the Arabidopsis pathway based on gene mapping file which contains orthologous genes between the two species.

RDFScsape
This plugin is not available through the Plugin Manager!
Description: RDFScape is a project that brings Semantic Web \"features\" to the popular Systems Biology software Cytoscape. It allows to query, visualize and reason on ontologies represented in OWL or RDF within Cytoscape. A full list of features is reporte in Features.
Unlike other ontology-based features in Cytoscape, RDFScape doesn\'t consider ontologies as annotation, but as a knowledge-base that can be interpreted through standard inference processes and through custom inference rules. The result is that ontologies can be interpreted for specific analysis needs. For instance, a pathway ontology such as biopax can be easily abstracted to an interaction network. Or as a causal network, once of notion on causal effect is defined on the ontology.
Beside this, RDFScape offers reach query capabilities on ontologies (SPARQL,RDQL,Strings, interactive browsing) and a customizable visualization features.

ShortestPath Plugin
Description: ShortestPath is a plugin for Cytoscape 2.1 to show the shortest path between 2 selected nodes in the current network. It supports both directed and undirected networks and it gives the user the possibility to choose which node (of the selected ones) should be used as source and target (useful for directed networks). The plugin API makes possible to use its functionality from another plugin.

PlugIn License Policy:
Although the Cytoscape core application is distributed under a Library GNU Public License (LGPL),
plugins are separate works which use Cytoscape as a Java code library.
Plugins are therefore governed by independent software licenses
distributed with and specific to each plugin. The Cytoscape project
has no intent to capture plugins under the license terms of the core Cytoscape LGPL.
