Hi Srikanth,

welcome. Your Cytoscape experience definitely will help you.

For the SAR idea, it would be good to already have a look at the code
structure, and how the different views are integrated into the system.
Did you already have a look at the linked literature? It is important
to make yourself familiar with the way SAR is used by chemists.

Be aware that the papers are just examples, as there is a wealth of
literature on that topic out there. Feel free to further explore the
topic beyond those pointers.

You should have an idea what SAR tables are, understand
the underlying SAR concept, and think about your concept what is needed
to integrate those into Scaffold Hunter. This includes to check where
you can build upon the libraries and tools used already and if you would
need to add additional functionality to get a working SAR table.

A further point is the interaction allowed with the table, how
should the user be able to work with it, which operations need to be
supported.
I guess the assigned mentors will give some more information soon.

Regards,
    Karsten
