Essential to the success of these tools is the layout of multi-scale biological networks and pathways, which integrate disparate measurements of different biological entities into a coherent qualitative model. Although such models are static and semi-quantitative, ongoing development of increasingly sophisticated visual analytics tools will enable full-fledged simulation of drug perturbation of a biological system in the future.  quality of drug targets and lead compounds. Here, we offer five suggestions to our readers interested in choosing and applying these tools to their research.
