Shu: visualization of high-dimensional biological pathways

Abstract

Shu is a visualization tool that integrates diverse data types into a metabolic map, with a focus on supporting multiple conditions and visualizing distributions. The goal is to provide a unified platform for handling the growing volume of multi-omics data, leveraging the metabolic maps developed by the metabolic modeling community. In addition, shu offers a streamlined python API, based on the Grammar of Graphics, for easy integration with data pipelines.
