DASMIweb

DASMIweb integrates distributed protein and domain interaction data to enable simultaneous querying, consolidation, and qualitative assessment of interaction evidence.

Key Features:

• Integration of multiple data sources: Consolidates protein and domain interaction records from diverse online repositories into a unified result set.
• Simultaneous querying: Executes queries against a configurable pool of resources to retrieve interaction data in one operation.
• Dynamic analysis and qualitative assessment: Supports assessment of interaction data using integrated confidence measures and qualitative filters.
• Confidence measures (functional similarity scores): Incorporates confidence scoring, including functional similarity scores, to evaluate the reliability of individual interactions.
• User data and custom scores: Accepts user-provided interaction data and user-defined confidence scores for inclusion in analyses.
• Export formats: Exports results in MITAB (Molecular INTeraction database TABular) and SIF (Simple Interaction Format) for downstream processing.

Scientific Applications:

• Interactome studies: Aggregates heterogeneous interaction datasets to support comprehensive mapping and analysis of protein interaction networks.
• Interaction evidence assessment: Enables evaluation and comparison of interaction confidence across sources using integrated functional similarity scores.
• Customized dataset analyses: Facilitates incorporation of user-generated interactions and custom confidence metrics for tailored investigations.

Methodology:

Simultaneous querying of multiple online repositories, consolidation of protein- and domain-interaction records, integration of confidence measures including functional similarity scores, acceptance of user-provided interactions and custom scores, and export of results in MITAB and SIF.
