Abstract:

Methods for 3D visualization are well established in all disciplines where simulation preprocessing data (e.g. FE meshes) or simulation output data is directly coupled to the geometry of the real system. The situation is quite different, when this connection is missing because the system is conceptually modeled by abstract structures. The complex interconnected biochemical reaction net- works in living cells which are studied in Systems Biol- ogy are a typical example. Here, it is a challenge to design visual representations of these networks showing all wanted structural features combined with quantita- tive data from simulation runs or experiments. This paper presents and evaluates three case studies that illustrate new visualization approaches in 3D to display structural and quantitative information related to bio- chemical networks and discusses the potential of inter- active 3D network visualization in context of Systems Biology.
