Navigating a KAM

Once you have one or more KAM Nodes and edges loaded into a Cytoscape network you can add additional nodes and edges using the Query tool or by expanding the Knowledge Neighborhood of nodes which are already in your network.

To explore the Knowledge Neighborhood of a selected node:

Using the network view, select a KAM Node. The node will turn yellow indicating that Cytoscape has selected the node.

Right-click the selected node to show the context menu.

You can expand any node in your network with upstream and/or downstream nodes and associated edges from the KAM.

You can also interconnect nodes when two or nodes are selected.

There is also an option to view the adjacent edges for each selected nodes by opening the Knowledge Neighborhood

In this example the nodes upstream from the biological process node bp(GO:apoptosis) was expanded and added to the network.
