mentha: the interactome browser

چکیده
Motivations Protein interaction databases archive proteinprotein interaction (PPI) information from published articles. However, no database alone has sufficient literature coverage to offer a complete resource to investigate “the interactome”. We have developed mentha, a new resource that addresses this problem. mentha archives evidence about PPI in the human proteome evidence collected from different PPI sources and offers a series of tools to analyse these data. Users can search the database using a web search engine that returns interaction information for any protein of interest displaying it in the context of the “global interactome”. A graphical application to represent this information helps scientists browse the collected data in order to ease and to inspire new experiments and outlooks.

VirusMentha: a new resource for virus-host protein interactions
Viral infections often cause diseases by perturbing several cellular processes in the infected host. Viral proteins target host proteins and either form new complexes or modulate the formation of functional host complexes. Describing and understanding the perturbation of the host interactome following viral infection is essential for basic virology and for the development of antiviral therapies...

The many ongoing genome sequencing initiatives are delivering comprehensive lists of the individual molecular components present in an organism, but these reveal little about how they work together. Follow-up initiatives are revealing thousands of interrelationships between gene products that need to be analyzed with novel bioinformatics approaches able to capture their complex emerging propert...
