Bioinformatics. 2007 Apr 1;23(7):910-2. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btm032. Epub 2007 Feb 3.

Abstract

NetMatch is a Cytoscape plugin which allows searching biological networks for subcomponents matching a given query. Queries may be approximate in the sense that certain parts of the subgraph-query may be left unspecified. To make the query creation process easy, a drawing tool is provided. Cytoscape is a bioinformatics software platform for the visualization and analysis of biological networks.
