BioDraw is a desktop application for drawing, annotating, sharing, and presenting biological pathways. BioDraw makes it easy to draw biological pathways. Common pathway elements (membranes, DNA, enzymes, receptors, reaction arrows, etc.) are built in, and other elements may be imported. The pathways you create with BioDraw can be exported for use in presentations, grant proposals, and publications.
Each element you include in a pathway becomes an entry point for organizing and storing data of virtually any type: sequence information, restriction maps, pertinent literature, mass spec data, microarrays, presentations, Word & PDF documents, hyperlinks to data repositories, and more. You can share your BioDraw pathways and annotations with your colleagues using the free BioDraw Reader.
BioDraw Pro provides drawing and annotation for your biological pathways.

Data Types / BioDraw
|
Conveniently store virtually any data type in its native format sequence data, restriction maps, literature, mass spec data, microarrays, presentations, Word & PDF documents, hyperlinks, etc. |
|
Integration / BioDraw
|
BioDraw works seamlessly with your other desktop programs so you can use your pathways in presentations and publications. |
|
Organize Data / BioDraw
|
BioDraw provides you with a single place to store and organize all of your important research data - regardless of the source. |
|
Pathway Diagrams / BioDraw
|
BioDraw includes drawing tools specifically designed for pathway diagrams; you can create beautiful pathway diagrams in a matter of minutes. |
|
Drawing Elements / BioDraw
|
BioDraw makes it easy to draw high-quality pathways. Built-in shapes include: Enzymes, Receptors, 7-Helix Proteins, Ion Channels, Immunoglobins, Membranes (lines, arcs and ovals), DNA, Endoplasmic reticula, G-Proteins, Golgi bodies, Mitochondria, Small molecules, Reaction arrows, and more. You can also insert your own shapes, such as chemical structures from ChemDraw, crystallographic structures from PDB, etc. |
|
Sharing Data / BioDraw
|
BioDraw pathways and annotation data are sharable with other researchers using BioDraw or the free Paracel BioDraw Reader. Anyone can download the free BioDraw Reader and view your pathways. Either send your colleagues the BioDraw file, or put it on your web site for them to download. Copy/Paste BioDraw drawings into PowerPoint presentations or Word documents or save pathways as TIFF for inclusion in major journals. |
|
Annotations / BioDraw
|
Store annotations for each element in your drawing. Annotation data ranges from manually
entered text to attached documents, literature references, or links. |
