BioGranat is a new molecular biology graph visualisation and analysis tool developed in collaboration by Hochschule Hannover and King's College London. It is based on the Java OSGi bundle architecture and currently provides a graphical user interface, input and output routines for various graph file formats, a facility to use the JUNG library, 2D graph layout routines, 3D visualisation of graphs, JAVA scripting and graph analysis algorithms. Further developments address graphics export (jpeg, vector formats), generation of random graphs and the import of biological meta-information. We will apply Biogranat to integrate and analyse large scale gene networks. We plan to make Biogranat available as Open Source Software. We would like to acknowledge funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD PPP D/07/09921) and the British Council (ARC1297).
