Visualization using D3 I am new to D3 programming (any programming, for that matter). I have protein-protein interaction data in JSON format and csv format. I would like to use that data for network visualization.

Data attributes: Protein Name, Protein Group, Protein type, Protein Source Node, Protein Target Node

Can anyone suggest good network visualizations for such data. How does it work with hive plots?
