I've seen wonderful gene networks recently published. Is there any way to do this from a list of gene ? What do I need ?

From a list of genes? No. From a list of genes with some kind of data that indicates the interactions between them? Yes.

As said Neilfws you need pairwise information, e.g.

-a tab separeted text file like this

gene1   interaction gene2
ABC1    2   BRCA2
ABC1    2   BRCA1
BRCA2   2   XRCC1

-a tool for graph visualization (e.g. cytoscape, graphviz...). In cytoscape you should import a new network from table/csv and setup source (gene1), destination (gene2) and interaction type (interaction) column from the wizard.

-look at the graph

p.s. I suggest at least reading the good cytoscape tutorial
