Resumen
In order to contribute with researches for the cancer study, the project
Ontocancro, from the bioinformatics area, gathered information related to genes
involved in the carcinogenic process from the genes database of NCI-Nature,
BioCarta, KEGG, Reactome, Prosite, GO and STRING. So the project database is
continuously accessed by researchers from the field. This paper has as objective
programming a tool that makes this information research easier in the project
database, in order that it demands less time from the researcher once trying to find
the information. Another useful tool for the professionals from this field is the open
code software called Medusa, used to visualize the protein interaction networks from
samples obtain by the scientists. The tool processes a graph that shows the protein
interactions with each other and also other information regarding each network
protein. For that, this paper aims to program new procedures to this tool, integrating it
to the Ontocancro database, aggregating new functionalities to make the pathways
samples research and identification easier.
