PathVisio is a free open-source pathway analysis and drawing software. It allows drawing, editing, and analyzing biological pathways.Visualization of ones experimental data on the pathways for finding relevant pathways that are over-represented in your data set is possible.[1] [2] [3]
PathVisio provides a basic set of features for pathway drawing, analysis and visualization.[4] [5] Additional features are available as plugins.
History
PathVisio was created primarily at Maastricht University and Gladstone Institutes.[6] The software is developed in Java and it's also used as part of the WikiPathways framework as an applet.[7] Starting from version 3.0 (released in 2012) plugins are OSGi compliant and a plugin directory, describing them, was developed.In 2015 version 3.2 was released. This was the first signed version with a certificate issued by a certification authority. Many of the running issues introduced by java 1.7 and 1.8 with the new security rules were solved.Since 2013 a javascript version (PVJS) is being developed to replace the applet. From 2015 it also allows small edits and in the future it will be a full editor.
