Cytoscape 1.1 PlugIns


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.

Note that PlugIns on this page will only work with Cytoscape 1.1. Refer to the current plugin page for a list of plugins registered with the plugin manager Current Cytoscape 2.x Plugins.

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.

Current Cytoscape 1.1 PlugIns:

Biomodules
Version: 1.0
Release Date: March 1, 2004

Biological modules are loose associations of preferred molecular interaction partners that perform a collective function. Biomodules is a Cytoscape plugin that identifies modules in molecular networks and analyzes their expression patterns and biological functions. This information is integrated, visualized, and analyzed in an interactive graphical representation.

Released by: Galitski Lab at the Institute for Systems Biology
