Abstract:
Identifier Mapping, the association of terms across disparate taxonomies and databases, is a common hurdle in bioinformatics workflows. The idmapper app for Cytoscape simplifies identifier mapping for genes and proteins in the context of common biological networks. This app provides a unified interface to different identifier resources accessible through a right-click on the table's column header. It also provides an OSGi programming interface via Cytoscape Commands and CyREST that can be utilized for identifier mapping in scripts and other Cytoscape apps, and supports integrated Swagger documentation.
