The goal of this project is to improve the integration of PathwayMapper into cBioPortal as well as enhancing the full-blown, stand-alone editor version as follows. To do this, we will improve the integration of PathwayMapper viewer in cBioPortal and improve PathwayMapper editor. For the first problem, we have 3 subtasks: adding Pathways tab to Comparison Page in cBioPortal, investigating alternative or better ranking schemes for Pathways and resolving the issues and bugs in cBioPortal. To improve PathwayMapper editor, we have 6 subtasks: revisiting overall architecture of PathwayMapper to properly address different views in different contexts, integration of expand-collapse and hide-show operations for complexity management, incorporation of filtering and highlighting capabilities ,fixing the issues in ShareDB in collaborative mode editor, upgrading all third party libraries and resolving issues/bugs.
Throgh GSoC, we will focus on these issues and solve them to improve the pathway views in cBioPortal.
