BridgeDb plugin for PathVisio #27

Closed mkutmon closed 5 years ago

mkutmon commented 8 years ago

Background

BridgeDb is an identifier mapping framework used in PathVisio and WikiPathways. Currently it is possible to load a mapping databases for gene products and metabolites. This should be extended with interaction mapping databases.

Goal

The existing BridgeDbConfig plugin provides functionality to load more mapping databases or to use other web services for the mappings. This functionality should be extended and integrated into the core PathVisio application as another core module. The configuration dialog has to be improved so it is more intuitive and user friendly. Furthermore the plugin should allow users to download and update BridgeDb mapping databases from within PathVisio. Currently the users have to download the databases first and then load them into PathVisio. This step should be automatized by the plugin.

Difficulty Level 2

Separate plugin but with consequences for the core parts of the program.

Skills

Java (essential) PathVisio, BridgeDb (nice to have)
