Cytoscape includes the ability to import networks and pathways directly from external databases. Cytoscape users can import networks and pathways directly from external databases.

By default, direct access to the following external resources is provided:

 * [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/intact/site/index.jsf IntAct]: an open source database of protein interaction data, hosted at EMBL-EBI.
 * [http://www.pathwaycommons.org Pathway Commons]: an open source portal, providing access to multiple integrated data sets, including: Reactome, !IntAct, HPRD, !HumanCyc, MINT, the MSKCC Cancer Cell Map, and the NCI/Nature Pathway Interaction database.
