CyNetShare User Guide

Introduction

CyNetShare is a very simple web application to share Cytoscape generated network visualizations as interactive web-based views. The only requirement to share your network visualizations is upload the files in public location (Dropbox public folder, your own web server, etc.).

If you have any problems, please note them in this web site's issue tracker.
