Abstract

Network-based analyses of high-dimensional biological data often produce results in the form of tree structures. Generating easily interpretable layouts to visualize these tree structures is a non-trivial task. We present a new visualization algorithm to generate two-dimensional layouts for complex tree structures. Implementations in both MATLAB and R are provided.
