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. The database currently covers 5'214'234 proteins from 1133 organisms.

STRING (Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins) is being developed at CPR, EMBL, SIB, KU, TUD and UZH.
