With recent advancements in techniques for cellular data acquisition, information on cellular processes has been increasing at a dramatic rate. Visualization is critical to analyzing and interpreting ...complex information; representing cellular processes or pathways is no exception. VISIBIOweb is a free, open-source, web-based pathway visualization and layout service for pathway models in BioPAX format. With VISIBIOweb, one can obtain well-laid-out views of pathway models using the standard notation of the Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN), and can embed such views within one's web pages as desired. Pathway views may be navigated using zoom and scroll tools; pathway object properties, including any external database references available in the data, may be inspected interactively. The automatic layout component of VISIBIOweb may also be accessed programmatically from other tools using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The web site is free and open to all users and there is no login requirement. It is available at: http://visibioweb.patika.org.

Abstract
cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics is an open-source platform for interactive, exploratory analysis of large-scale clinico-genomic data sets. cBioPortal provides a suite of user-friendly ...visualizations and analyses, including OncoPrints, mutation “lollipop” plots, variant interpretation, group comparison, survival analysis, expression correlation analysis, alteration enrichment analysis, cohort and patient-level visualization.
The public site (https://www.cbioportal.org) is accessed by >35,000 unique visitors each month and hosts data from >350 studies spanning individual labs and large consortia. In addition, at least 74 instances of cBioPortal are installed at academic institutions and companies worldwide. To better support all users, we unified our documentation (https://docs.cbioportal.org) and added a user guide and an ongoing series of ‘how-to’ videos to address common questions.
In 2022 we added 32 studies (>38,000 samples) to the public site. In addition, we added a nonsynonymous tumor mutation burden (TMB) value for all samples and enhanced the TCGA PanCancer Atlas studies with DNA methylation and treatment data. All data is available in the cBioPortal Datahub: https://github.com/cBioPortal/datahub.
We also host a dedicated instance for AACR Project GENIE, enabling access to the GENIE cohort of >165,000 clinically sequenced samples from 19 institutions (https://genie.cbioportal.org). The GENIE Biopharma Collaborative (BPC) enables the collection of comprehensive clinical annotations, including response, outcome, and treatment history. The first BPC cohorts are now available: ~2,000 non-small cell lung cancer samples and ~1,500 colorectal cancer samples.
Support for multimodal data analysis has been a major focus, including several new integrations with external tools. Single cell data is now available in the CPTAC GBM study and can be visualized throughout cBioPortal, and via integration with cellxgene. On the patient page, H&E and mIF images can be visualized via integration with Minerva, and the genomic overview now integrates IGV.
We continue to enhance existing features. In the study view, users can now add charts comparing categorical vs continuous data, and the plots tab includes a heatmap option. We replaced the existing fusion data type with a generalized structural variant data type that supports detailed information including breakpoints and orientation, to enable new visualizations and analyses. Pathway level analysis has been extended with a new integration with NDEx.
cBioPortal is fully open source (https://github.com/cBioPortal/). Development is a collaborative effort among groups at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Caris Life Sciences, Bilkent University and The Hyve. We welcome open source contributions from others in the cancer research community.

When visualizing graphs, it is essential to communicate the meaning of each graph object via text or graphical labels. Automatic placement of labels in a graph is an NP-Hard problem, for which ...efficient heuristic solutions have been recently developed. In this paper, we describe a general framework for modeling, drawing, editing, and automatic placement of labels respecting user constraints. In addition, we present the interface and the basic engine of the Graph Editor Toolkit – a family of portable graph visualization libraries designed for integration into graphical user interface application programs. This toolkit produces a high quality automated placement of labels in a graph using our framework. A brief survey of automatic label placement algorithms is also presented. Finally we describe extensions to certain existing automatic label placement algorithms, allowing their integration into this visualization tool.

We present and contrast several efficient two-dimensional packing algorithms for specified aspect ratio. These near-linear algorithms are based on strip packing, tiling, and alternate-bisection ...methodologies and can be used in the layout of disconnected objects in graph visualization. The parameters that affect the performance of these algorithms as well as the circumstances under which they perform well are analyzed.

High-throughput experiments, most significantly DNA microarrays, provide us with system-scale profiles. Connecting these data with existing biological networks poses a formidable challenge to uncover ...facts about a cell's proteome. Studies and tools with this purpose are limited to networks with simple structure, such as protein-protein interaction graphs, or do not go much beyond than simply displaying values on the network. We have built a microarray data analysis tool, named PATIKAmad, which can be used to associate microarray data with the pathway models in mechanistic detail, and provides facilities for visualization, clustering, querying, and navigation of biological graphs related with loaded microarray experiments. PATIKAmad is freely available to noncommercial users as a new module of PATIKAweb at http://web.patika.org.
