Abstract:
MOTIVATION: A plugin for the Java-based PathVisio pathway editor has been developed to help users draw diagrams of bioregulatory networks according to the Molecular Interaction Map (MIM) notation. Together with the core PathVisio application, this plugin presents a simple to use and cross-platform application for the construction of complex MIM diagrams with the ability to annotate diagram elements with comments, literature references, and links to external databases. This tool extends the capabilities of the PathVisio pathway editor by providing both MIM-specific glyphs and support for a MIM-specific markup language file format for exchange with other MIM-compatible tools and diagram validation.
AVAILABILITY: The PathVisio-MIM plugin is freely available and works with versions of PathVisio 2.0.11 and later; on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Information about MIM notation and the MIMML format is available at (http://discover.nci.nih.gov/mim). The plugin, along with diagram examples, instructions, and Java source code, may be downloaded at (http://discover.nci.nih.gov/mim/mim_pathvisio.html).
