NetMatch: a Cytoscape plugin for searching biological networks.

Full Abstract

NetMatch is a Cytoscape plugin which allows searching biological networks for subcomponents matching a given query. Queries may be approximate in the sense that certain parts of the subgraph-query may be left unspecified. To make the query creation process easy, a drawing tool is provided. Cytoscape is a bioinformatics software platform for the visualization and analysis of biological networks.

AVAILABILITY:
The full package, a tutorial and associated examples are available at the following web sites:
