STRING

STRING is a database of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations; they are derived from four sources: - Genomic Context - High-throughput Experiments - (Conserved) Coexpression - Previous Knowledge STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable.

STRING是一个包含已知和预测蛋白质相互作用的数据库。这些相互作用包括直接（物理性）和间接（功能性）关联；它们源自四个来源：基因组上下文、高通量实验、（保守性）共表达以及先验知识。STRING对这些来源的相互作用数据进行定量整合，并对大量生物体进行信息传递，在适用的情况下实现跨生物体的信息交流。
