FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve protein-protein interaction data from the STRING database using a UniProt ID?▼

To retrieve protein-protein interaction data from STRING, query the database using a UniProt ID. The Skill returns interaction partners and multi-channel confidence scores, including experimental, text mining, and database evidence.

Can I filter STRING protein interactions by confidence score for pathway analysis?▼

Yes, you can filter STRING protein interactions by confidence score. Use the required_score parameter to set a minimum threshold, ensuring you only retrieve interaction networks with sufficient evidence for pathway analysis.

What multi-channel confidence scores are available when querying STRING interaction networks?▼

Querying STRING interaction networks provides multi-channel confidence scores, including experimental, text mining, database, and combined scores. These channels help evaluate the reliability of protein interaction partners for functional inference.

How do I limit the number of interaction partners returned for a protein-protein interaction query?▼

Use the limit parameter to restrict the number of interaction partners returned by a STRING query. This helps manage result size when building large protein interaction networks for a given UniProt ID.

Does querying STRING for protein interactions require specifying the species?▼

Yes, querying STRING for protein interactions supports the species parameter. Specifying the species ensures the retrieved interaction data and confidence scores are accurate for the target organism's protein interaction network.
