This gateway provides a place for researchers and developers using Cytoscape to publish software tool articles to promote their Cytoscape Apps and technical extensions written using either R or Python. This allows authors to obtain accreditation for their developments, as well as being a resource to help researchers find out more about relevant Cytoscape updates and providing app developers with useful implementation tips.

This Gateway also acts as a hub for research output outlining the protocols and methodology involved in the wider Cytoscape ecosystem.

Cytoscape is an open source software platform for network visualization, data integration and network analysis. Cytoscape is most commonly applied to molecular networks and pathways in biology, though it is also used to interrogate the entire range from atomic and residue interactions in protein structures to chromosomal, cellular, organismal and social networks, as well as non-biological applications.

This gateway is a tailored publication hub for new developments in the Cytoscape landscape, and we recommended tracking this hub for new articles as developers continue to produce and publish new Cytoscape Apps, extensions, and methodology to the wider research community.
