There is an imperative need to integrate functional genomics data to obtain a more comprehensive systems-biology view of the results. We believe that this is best achieved through the visualization of data within the biological context of metabolic pathways. Accordingly, metabolic pathway reconstruction was used to predict the metabolic composition for Medicago truncatula and these pathways were engineered to enable the correlated visualization of integrated functional genomics data.
