Abstract
SUMMARY: IntAct App is a Cytoscape 3 application that grants in-depth access to IntAct's molecular interaction data. It build networks where nodes are interacting molecules (mainly proteins, but also genes, RNA, chemicals…) and edges represent evidence of interaction. Users can query a network by providing its molecules, identified by different fields and optionally include all their interacting partners in the resulting network. The app offers three visualizations: one only displaying interactions, another representing every evidence and the last one emphasizing evidence where mutated versions of proteins were used. Users can also filter networks and click on nodes and edges to access all their related details. Finally, the application supports automation of its main features via Cytoscape commands. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Implementation available at https://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/intactapp, while the source code is available at https://github.com/EBI-IntAct/IntactApp.
