Visualizing Related Metabolic Pathways in Two and a Half Dimensions

We propose a method for visualizing a set of related metabolic pathways using 21 2 D graph drawing. Interdependent, twodimensional layouts of each pathway are stacked on top of each other so that biologists get a full picture of subtle and significant differences among the pathways. Layouts are determined by a global layout of the union of all pathway-representing graphs using a variant of the proven Sugiyama approach for layered graph drawing that allows edges to cross if they appear in different graphs.
