Visualization of biochemical processes – storage of platelets Inline graphic 8 min 26 s

This video introduces a new method for visualizing metabolic processes in the context of a full biochemical network. Representing the metabolic network as a graph where metabolites are nodes and reactions are edges can help elucidate complex relationships within the network. While viewing a network in this manner is not new, overlaying -omics data onto the map allows for an accurate integration of disparate data types. By visually interpreting the information in this dynamic, graphical format, we can more easily distinguish important characteristics of the network. This video utilizes the metabolomic data from the study “Comprehensive metabolomic study of platelets reveals the expression of discrete metabolic phenotypes during storage” [13]. https://youtu.be/ GQuT7R-ldS4
