多层网络在生物学中被广泛用于表征在空间、时间或相互作用类型上发生变化的复杂网络系统。然而,目前仍缺乏支持交互式可视化的工具。本文介绍了 MiRA(Multilayer Interactive Rendering Application),一款基于浏览器、无需安装的网络应用程序,专用于可视化生物多层网络。MiRA 提供七种互补的可视化模式及交互功能,使研究人员能够直观地探索多层网络的高度复杂性,服务于科研与教学。
Multilayer networks are widely used across biology to represent systems in which complex networks vary across space, time, or interaction types. However, interactive visualization tools remain limited. We present MiRA (Multilayer Interactive Rendering Application), a browser-based, installation-free web application for visualizing biological multilayer networks. MiRA offers seven complementary visualization modes and interactive features that enable researchers to visually navigate the high complexity of multilayer networks for research and education.
