KAM Navigator Cytoscape Plugin V0.8

KAM Navigator is a Cytoscape plugin that allows OpenBEL Framework users to query, visualize, and manipulate OpenBEL Framework Knowledge Assembly Models (KAMs) using Cytoscape. The Plugin uses the OpenBEL Framework Web Services to access KAMs and create native Cytoscape networks that can be analyzed and manipulated using the rich set of network-centric Cytoscape tools.

The KAM Navigator plugin was developed with two main goals:

  • To illustrate how the OpenBEL Framework can easily interoperate with existing technologies, especially those which have a large community around them, and
  • To illustrate how to use the OpenBEL Framework Web Services API to create innovative and interesting knowledge-aware applications.

The KAM Navigator plugin was designed and developed by Selventa and is being released for public use under the LGPLv3 license.

Additional information on installing and using the plugin can be found in the User Manual.
