Visual Analysis of Overlapping Biological Networks

This investigates a new problem of visualizing a set of overlapping networks. We present two methods for constructing visualization of two and three overlapping networks in three dimensions. Our methods aim to achieve both drawing aesthetics (or conventions) for each individual network and exposing the common nodes between the overlapping networks. We evaluated our approaches using biological networks including protein interaction network, metabolic network, and gene regulatory network, from the bacterium Escherichia coli and crop plants to demonstrate their usefulness to support biological analysis.
