Summary
- Query the STRING API for protein-protein interactions (59M proteins, 20B interactions across 5000+ species), building interaction networks, discovering functional partners, and running GO/KEGG/Pfam enrichment on protein lists.
- Use when constructing a protein-protein interaction network, expanding from seed proteins to functional partners, or running PPI-based enrichment for systems biology; for curated metabolic pathway maps and reactions prefer alterlab-kegg, and for protein sequences, annotations, or accession ID mapping prefer alterlab-uniprot instead.
- Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
