Overview

[^] cy3sbml is a Cytoscape 3 app for the Systems Biology Markup Language SBML.
Our mission is the visualization of SBML information within the network context.
Our vision is a visualization tool for computational models and simulations which seamlessly integrates with computational modeling frameworks and workflows.

App store: http://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/cy3sbml
Latest release: https://github.com/matthiaskoenig/cy3sbml/releases/latest

Bug Tracker: https://github.com/matthiaskoenig/cy3sbml/issues

Features

cy3sbml provides advanced functionality for the import and work with models encoded in SBML, amongst others the visualization of SBML network annotations within the network context, direct import of models from repositories like BioModels and one-click access to annotation resources and SBML model information and SBML validation.

• Java based SBML parser for Cytoscape based on JSBML
• access to models and annotations via BioModels, MIRIAM, and Ontology Lookup Service
• supports all versions of SBML
• SBML validation (SBML warnings and errors accessible)
• Network graph based on the species/reaction model
• Graph of SBML objects (Kinetics, FunctionDefinitions, Parameters, ...)
• Support of qual, comp and fbc extensions
• Provides access to RDF based annotation information within the network context (and non-RDF annotations)
• Tested with all models from sbml-test-suite (3.2.0), Biomodels (release 30) and BiGG models (v1.3)

For Cytoscape 2 use cy2sbml with documentation available from http://matthiaskoenig.github.io/cy2sbml/.

Installation

[^] The following gives an overview how to install, uninstall and build cy3sbml

Install

cy3sbml is available from the Cytoscape App Store.

• install Java 11
• install the latest version of Cytoscape (>=3.8.0) or
• open Cytoscape, open http://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/cy3sbml in a browser, click install

Alternatively one can install via the App Manager

• In Cytoscape open Apps → App Manager → Install Apps and search for cy3sbml.
• Select cy3sbml and click install.

After installation cy3sbml is listed in the Currently Installed apps tab.

The latest release jars are available from https://github.com/matthiaskoenig/cy3sbml/releases/latest and can also be copied manually in the Cytoscape directory.

Uninstall

To uninstall or disable cy3sbml, go to the menu bar and choose Apps → App Manager → Currently Installed. Select cy3sbml and click Uninstall or Disable.

Build instructions

The develop release contains all features implemented since the latest release. To work with the latest develop release clone the repository and build with maven

git clone https://github.com/matthiaskoenig/cy3sbml.git cy3sbml  
cd cy3sbml  
mvn install -DskipTests  

The test suite takes some minutes to finish. If you want to build with tests use

mvn install

The cy3sbml-vx.x.x.jar if available in the target folder.

More detailed build instructions are available here.
