The Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN) is a widely used notation for visualizing biological networks (https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nbt.1558). The reach of SBGN could be increased by making it easier to use from commonly used bioinformatics programming languages such as R. A basic interface has been developed: https://github.com/cannin/sbgnvizShiny but needs improvement.
Goal
The goal to improve the sbgnvizShiny package. The package has issues with rendering some SBGN components that the base https://github.com/iVis-at-Bilkent/sbgnviz.js has no issue with, for example SBGN units of information The goal of the project is to fix the issues and expand the capabilities of the R package allowing users more facility to interact with the Javascript rendered diagrams.
Difficulty Level 2
Difficulty level 2 since it requires knowledge of multiple programming languages.
