Visualizing Biological Data in Google Earth

"Visualizing Biological Data in Google Earth" is a specialized book that addresses the significant role of visualizing large biological datasets in systems biology. It emphasizes that the effective representation of this data is crucial for new discoveries in research. The book introduces the interactive visualization tool MetNetGE, which offers innovative techniques for visualizing biological data such as biological pathways, ontologies, and experimental data. A notable feature is the novel 3D layout algorithm that arranges the nodes of a biological pathway at different levels to highlight the connections between the layers. A user study demonstrates the efficiency of MetNetGE compared to other tools like Cytoscape, underscoring the relevance and practical utility of the book.
