cy3sbml is a Cytoscape app for the Systems Biology Markup Language SBML.

cy3sbml provides advanced functionality for the import and work with models encoded in SBML, amongst others the visualization of SBML network annotations within the network context, direct import of models from repositories like biomodels and one-click access to annotation resources and SBML model information and SBML validation.

• Java based SBML parser for Cytoscape based on JSBML (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsbml/)
• access to models and annotations via BioModel (http://www.biomodels.org/) and MIRIAM WebServices (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/miriam/main/)
• supports all versions of SBML
• SBML validation (SBML warnings and errors accessible)
• Network graph based on the species/reaction model
• Network graph of full SBML information
• Support of qual, comp and fbc extensions
• Provides access to RDF based annotation information within the network context
• Annotation information
• succesfully tested against all SBML.org and Biomodels.org test cases (BioModels_Database-r29)

We are currently porting missing features from the Cytoscape 2 plugin to Cytoscape 3. Release information and changelogs are provided below.
