Cytoscape Neo4j Plugin

# Cytoscape plugin for Neo4j Neo4j Graphs are often too large for Cytoscape: this plugin allows you to write Cypher queries and import the result as a network. Queries can be parameterized and stored for reuse. Citation: [https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/07/16/369785 Mining functional annotations across species; Sven Warris, Steven Dijkxhoorn, Teije van Sloten, T.L.H. van de Vossenberg, bioRxiv, 2018] ## Features Connects to Neo4j with a username/password using the Bolt interface. ### Importing graphs There are three main methods of importing a graph: - Import all nodes and edges from Neo4j into Cytoscape - Import a cypher query into Cystoscape - Import a stored query ([template](doc/template.md)) into Cytoscape ### Exporting networks The plugin allows you to export any Cytoscape Network to Neo4j. This can be an updated version of an imported graph or a network from a different source. Nodes / relationships removed from a graph in Cytoscape will also result in these elements being removed from the Neo4j database after the export. ### Expanding nodes The plugin allows you to expand a single node, selected nodes or all nodes in the network at once. This way you can browse through your graph. Main menu: - Expand all (selected) nodes in the network through all edges (bidirectional) - Expand all (selected) nodes, incoming edges only - Expand all (selected) nodes, outgoing edges only Context menu: - Expand single node, bidirectional, incoming or outgoing edges - Expand single node, bidirectional, incoming or outgoing edges, based on the _available edges connected to this node_ - Expand single node, bidirectional, incoming or outgoing edges, based on the _available nodes connected to this node_ ### Other features - Show all edges (relationships) between all nodes in the network or only between selected nodes. - Get the shortest paths from the database between the selected nodes. When more than two nodes are selected, all combinations will be queried: Neo4j does not allow shortest path calculations between more than two nodes (a.k.a. 'via').
