ClusterViz has been tested on Cytoscape 2.6.X and Cytoscape 2.7.0.

1. Introduction

ClusterViz is a Cytoscape plug-in for analysis and visualization of clusters from network. Based on another Cytoscape plug-in named MCODE, three different graph clustering algorithms (FAG-EC, EAGLE and MCODE) were implemented in ClusterViz. This plug-in is developed by Juan Cai and Gang Chen, and supported by Prof. Jianxin Wang and Dr. Min Li, from Central South University.
