| Popis | Ever-increasing availability of experimental volumetric data (e.g., in .ccp4, .mrc, .map, .rec, .zarr, .ome.tif formats) and advances in segmentation software (e.g., Amira, Segger, IMOD) and formats (e.g., .am, .seg, .mod, etc.) have led to a demand for efficient web-based visualization tools. Despite this, current solutions remain scarce, hindering data interpretation and dissemination. Previously, we introduced Mol* Volumes & Segmentations (Mol* VS), a web application for the visualization of volumetric, segmentation, and annotation data (e.g., semantically relevant information on biological entities corresponding to individual segmentations such as Gene Ontology terms or PDB IDs). However, this lacked important features such as the ability to edit annotations (e.g., assigning user-defined descriptions of a segment) and seamlessly share visualizations. Additionally, setting up Mol* VS required a substantial programming background. This article presents an updated version, Mol* VS 2.0, that addresses these limitations. As part of Mol* VS 2.0, we introduce the Annotation Editor, a user-friendly graphical interface for editing annotations, and the Volumes & Segmentations Toolkit (VSToolkit) for generating shareable files with visualization data. The outlined protocols illustrate the utilization of Mol* VS 2.0 for visualization of volumetric and segmentation data across various scales, showcasing the progress in the field of molecular complex visualization. |
