The CELLmicrocosmos 4.2 PathwayIntegration (CmPI) is a tool which provides hybriddimensional visualization and Body Creams analysis of intracellular protein and gene localizations in the context of a virtual 3D environment.This tool is developed based on Java/Java3D/JOGL and provides a standalone application compatible to all relevant operating systems.However, it requires Java and the local installation of the software.Here we present the prototype of an alternative web-based visualization approach, using Three.

js and D3.js.In this way it is possible to visualize and explore CmPI-generated localization scenarios including networks mapped to 3D cell components Choke Gauges by just providing a URL to a collaboration partner.This publication describes the integration of the different technologies - Three.js, D3.

js and PHP - as well as an application case: a localization scenario of the citrate cycle.The CmPI web viewer is available at: http://CmPIweb.CELLmicrocosmos.org.
