Reactome Advanced Knowledgebase Search and Pathway Visualization Prototype App Public

The goal of this project is to prototype an app that allows users to search and visualize the Reactome knowledgebase. The Reactome ontology contains biological pathways, their components, and interactions. The app allows the user to construct search criteria across multiple ontological concepts and their specific relationships, whereas existing Reactome search tools cannot. The app also re-creates pathway visualizations. This work could serve as a basis for visualizing these pathways in custom use cases not met by the official tools.
