STRING is a database of known and predicted protein-protein interactions.

STRING (Search Tool for Recurring Instances of Neighbouring Genes) is a comprehensive database designed for exploring protein-protein interaction networks. It integrates known and predicted interactions, leveraging direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations. The database incorporates experimental data, computational prediction methods, and public text collections. STRING provides a user-friendly interface for searching proteins by name, sequence, or identifier and allows users to visualize networks, perform functional enrichment analysis, and download data for further analysis. Its value proposition lies in offering a consolidated platform for understanding protein relationships, aiding in drug target identification, pathway analysis, and elucidating complex biological processes. Use cases span academic research, pharmaceutical development, and systems biology.
STRING (Search Tool for Recurring Instances of Neighbouring Genes) is a comprehensive database designed for exploring protein-protein interaction networks.
Explore all tools that specialize in functional enrichment analysis. This domain focus ensures STRING delivers optimized results for this specific requirement.
Identifies over-represented GO terms, KEGG pathways, and diseases associated with a set of proteins, using statistical methods to assess significance.
Displays protein-protein interactions as a network graph, with nodes representing proteins and edges representing interactions, colored by evidence type.
Provides programmatic access to the STRING database, allowing users to retrieve data and perform analyses using scripts and custom software.
Allows users to search for and analyze protein families based on name, protein name, or sequence, revealing shared interaction patterns.
Enables users to focus on protein-protein interactions within a specific organism, filtering out irrelevant data.
Access the STRING website (https://string-db.org/).
Choose the desired search method (Single Protein, Multiple Proteins, Sequence, etc.).
Enter the protein name, identifier, or sequence in the provided input field.
Select the organism of interest or use auto-detect.
Adjust advanced settings such as network type (full or physical), required score (confidence level), and FDR stringency.
Submit the query and visualize the resulting protein-protein interaction network.
Explore functional enrichment analysis results to understand pathway and process involvement.
Download the network data or API to programmatically use the STRING database.
