Attributes
Nodes and edges can have
attributes associated with
them


Gene expression data

Mass spectrometry data

Protein structure information

Gene Ontology terms, etc.
Cytoscape supports multiple
data types: Numbers, Text,
Logical, Lists...


Loading attributes

Use pre-formatted attribute files

Import attribute from table

Excel file

Comma or tab delimited text
Import attribute from web services


NCBI Entrez Gene

Ensembl Biomart

Use ‘import attribute or expression matrix’

Create attributes manually in the attribute browser

Use Case 2.1: Neuroblastoma

Childhood neuro endocrine tumor

Young children

Variable clinical outcome



Low stages

Good prognosis

Numeric changes of chromosomal copy numbers
High stages

Poor prognosis

Structural chromosomal defects (LOH1p / 11q etc)
Few gene defects identified

MYCN amplification (20%)

ALK activation (7%)

CCND1 / PHOX2B / NF1
Use Case 2.1: Neuroblastoma

Poor prognosis

Subgroup (~1/3) characterized by MYCN amplification

Rest unknown
Use case: Assignment 2.1

Whole genome sequence of 86 tumor vs blood

1043 genes with mutations
1.
Load the list of genes
(neuroblastoma_mutated_symbols.txt) as a network
2.
Use the tab separated dataset
(neuroblastoma_mutated_annotations.txt) to map
additional information
1.
8
Make sure the attributes have informative names
5/23/2017
Attribute management
Different type of attributes: Strings, Numbers, …
Select attributes for display
Node or Edge ID

Tips & Tricks: Root Graph and sessions

”There is one graph to rule them all...”

The networks in Cytoscape are all ”views” on a single
graph.

Changing the attribute for a node in one network will
also change that attribute for a node with the same ID in
all other loaded networks

There is no way to ”copy” a node and keep the same ID
 Make a copy of the session

Identifier mapping

Identifiers (IDs) are ideally unique, stable name or numbers

But: too many IDs and different database records for Gene, DNA,
RNA, Protein

The ID Mapping challenge:


Avoid errors by mapping IDs correctly

Gene names are ambiguous

Excel introduces errors

Problems reaching 100 % coverage
Recommendations (for proteins and genes):

Map everything to Entrez Gene IDs using a spreadsheet

Manually curate missing mappings to achieve 100 % coverage

Be careful of Excel auto conversions

Tips & Tricks: Data mapping

Avoid cluttering your visualization with too much data

Map the data you are specifically interested in to call out
meaningful differences

Mapping too much data to visual attributes may just
confuse the viewer

Create multiple networks and map different values
18

Use case: Assignment 2.3
1.
Map the size of the nodes to the number of
occurrences
2.
Map color to the tumor ids
1.
Hint: use a rainbow pattern

Filtering & editing data


Use filters


Use case: Assignment 2.4
1.
What is the gene with most mutations?
2.
Filter the network for genes with more than one
mutation (why?) and save the new network.
3.
Use the Bisogenet plugin...
1.
...to find interactions among these
2.
...to find interactions among these and their first neighbours
(or explore different settings of Bisogenet according to your
taste)
4.
