MapMan Guest

MapMan is a user-driven tool that displays large datasets (e.g. gene expression data from Arabidopsis Affymetrix arrays) onto diagrams of metabolic pathways or other processes.

MapMan was developed in cooperation with the group of Mark Stitt. For technical details, please contact Axel Nagel, for other questions, please contact Björn Usadel.
