Cytoscape ESP: simple search of complex biological networks

Bioinformatics. 2008 Jun 15;24(12):1465-6. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btn208. Epub 2008 Apr 28.

Abstract

Summary: Cytoscape enhanced search plugin (ESP) enables searching complex biological networks on multiple attribute fields using logical operators and wildcards. Queries use an intuitive syntax and simple search line interface. ESP is implemented as a Cytoscape plugin and complements existing search functions in the Cytoscape network visualization and analysis software, allowing users to easily identify nodes, edges and subgraphs of interest, even for very large networks.
