Summary
The STRING workflow — search, expand, enrich — without leaving the analysis you are writing.
Search resolves a name you can say out loud into identifiers STRING accepts, the network call expands a gene list into its interactions, and enrichment turns that set into GO and KEGG terms. That is the loop, and it happens where the write-up is happening.
What it is
An unofficial server over the STRING protein interaction database: interaction partners, multi-protein networks, functional enrichment, annotations and cross-species homologs.
What you get
- Direct interaction partners for a protein, with confidence scores and evidence types
- An interaction network built and analysed across several proteins at once
- Functional enrichment over a protein set using GO terms, KEGG pathways and other annotations
- Detailed annotations and functional information for a protein
- Homologous proteins found across species for comparative work
- Proteins searched by name or identifier across multiple species
- The same data reachable as resources, addressed by protein or taxon ID
Requirements
Node, with the project built locally before first use. Augmented-Nature wrote it against STRING's public API, so it needs network access.
