splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Size
small nodes: protein of unknown 3D structure
large nodes: some 3D structure is known or predicted
Node Color
colored nodes: query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes: second shell of interactors
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

Neighborhood
Groups of genes that are frequently observed in each other's genomic neighborhood.
Textmining
Automated, unsupervised textmining - searching for proteins that are frequently mentioned together.
Fusion
Genes that are sometimes fused into single open reading frames.
Coexpression
Proteins whose genes are observed to be correlated in expression, across a large number of experiments.
STRING allows inspection of the interaction evidence for any given network. Choose any of the viewers above (disabled if not applicable in your network).
