Vizit helps you find connections between entities such as genes, pathways, diseases,
drugs and more. Vizit displays these connection in a graph. You can select a connection
between any 2 concepts and ask Vizit to show you all the PubMed publications that
mention these 2 concepts.
A Vizit query (called “Explore”) works with 2 parameters: parameter 1 is a specific
concept such as the BRCA1 gene; parameter 2 is a class of concepts such as PATHWAYS.
In this example, the Explore query means: find me all the pathways associated with
BRCA1.
Vizit can help you explore and understand an area of research you are working in by
helping you find non-obvious connections between genes, pathways, disease, drugs
and other biologically relevant entities and processes in which you may be interested.
With PubMed you need to know the specific genes, pathways an so on that you are
interested in in order to find relevant publications. With Vizit you can (a) review
connections between genes, pathways and more (b) pick interesting connections you
were not aware of and (c) then access the relevant publications. Vizit helps your
discovery work by letting you generate scientific hypotheses based on the existing
scientific bibliography.

Bring up the “Add a Term” panel.
1.Click on the Add icon.
Vizit will display the “Add a Term” panel.
1.Click on “Gene, Pathway, Drug etc.” and select an option.
2.Start typing in your search term. Vizit will auto-complete as you
type.
3.Select your search term when you see it in the auto-complete
suggestions. Vizit will display your search term in the “whiteboard”.
4.Click on your search term in the whiteboard to start your
exploration, or repeat these steps to add more terms to the
whiteboard.

EXPLORE
What it does: EXPLORE lets you find genes, pathways, diseases etc. that are related to your selected
node (i.e. a specific gene like BRCA1 or pathway like APOPTOSIS). For example it lets you answer a
question such as: In which pathways is BRCA1 involved?
How it works: Click on a node (circle) in a Vizit graph. Select “Explore” from the pop-up menu.
CONNECT
What it does: CONNECT lets you see if your selected node is related to any of the genes, pathways,
diseases etc. that are displayed in your current Vizit graph.
How it works: Click on a node (circle) in a Vizit graph. Select “Connect” from the pop-up menu, then
select one of Genes, Pathways, Diseases etc. in the pop-up menu.
BRIDGE
What it does: BRIDGE lets you find any genes, pathways, diseases etc. that are common to two selected
nodes. For example it lets you answer a question such as: What genes are involved in both the “CELL
CYCLE” and the “DNA REPAIR” pathways?
How it works: Select any two nodes in your Vizit graph. Click on first, then Ctrl- (Cmd- in Mac) Click on
the second. Click on any of the selected nodes. Select “Bridge” from the pop-up menu, then select one
of Genes, Pathways, Diseases etc. in the pop-up menu.

Click on the bibliography icon to access PubMed publications
mentioning the 2 linked nodes (gene BCL2 and pathway APOPTOSIS).
Vizit will display the titles of PubMed articles. Click on the PubMed
ID to access the article on PubMed.

You can share your Vizit graphs:
•if you are member of a research team and want to share your findings with your colleagues or ask them for their ideas.
•if you want to contribute or comment on an idea regarding a research problem discussed at a blog, conference or other public forum.

Vizit graphs you share are “live”
which means that if the recipient of your email clicks on the URL not only will they see your graph but they will also be able to work on it freely.
