A Biological Pathway is defined as any number of chemical reactions or other events like gene expressions which result in a transformation or metabolic activity.
The reactions or events, which make up a biological pathway, occur at the molecular level of living cells.
Biological pathways are used as a way to model the complex nature of molecular interaction; specifically the way biological functions are accomplished, or how the molecules respond to environmental stimuli.
This project ultimately aims to investigate and develop different algorithms to layout biological pathways in a 3 dimensional space, such that the problems faced by current implementations of pathway rendering software are resolved.
Due to the complexity of biological pathways, tools which allow a reduction in this level of this complexity are extremely helpful.
Current tools while effective in certain situations need to be improved to allow greater flexibility and useability.
I expect this project will help achieve this goal.
