Optional: Automation - mkutmon/cytoscape-tutorials GitHub Wiki
If you have programming experience, I would suggest you to go through the following tutorial (pay attention to the arrows in the bottom right - some sections have multiple slides and you need to click down instead of right): https://cytoscape.org/cytoscape-tutorials/presentations/advanced-automation-2019-mu.html#/
It will guide you through the basics and give you some examples. Most examples available are currently in R and they provide many example scripts.
There are a few R vignette's that come close to example 1 and 2:
- Layouts and Visualization
- WikiPathways and Cytoscape
- Pathway analysis in R
- Network extension with CyTargetLinker
Feel free to explore the material and ask questions!
