Abstract

INTER-Species Protein Interaction Analysis (INTERSPIA) is a web application for identifying diverse patterns of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in different species. Given a set of proteins of interest to the user, INTERSPIA first discovers additional proteins that are functionally associated with the input proteins as well as different or common patterns of PPIs among the proteins in multiple species through a server-side pipeline. Second, it visualizes the dynamics of PPIs in multiple species via an easy-to-use web interface. This article contains a basic protocol describing how to visualize diverse patterns of PPIs of input proteins in multiple species, and how to use them for functional analysis in the web interface.
