| 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. ==== Getting Started ==== |

Then, follow the three-step process outlined below: * Step 1: Enter your search term; for example: BRCA1 * Step 2: Select the protein or small molecule of interest. Full details regarding each molecule is shown in the bottom left panel. * Step 3: Download a specific pathway or interaction network. attachment:3_steps.png ===== Downloading Pathways and Interaction Networks ===== In Step 3, you can simply double-click on a pathway of interest, or click on the Interaction Networks tab. The Interaction Networks tab enables you to filter interactions by data source and/or interaction type. For example, you can choose to restrict your network to direct physical interactions from HPRD and MINT only: attachment:intxn_filter.png ===== Pathway Commons Options ===== You can configure access options from the Options tab. There are two retrieval options: * Simplified Binary Model: Retrieve a simplified binary network, as inferred from the original BioPAX representation. In this representation, nodes within a network refer to physical entities only, and edges refer to inferred interactions. * Full Model: Retrieve the full model, as stored in the original BioPAX representation. In this representation, nodes within a network can refer to physical entities and interactions. By default, the simplified binary model is selected. |
Importing Networks 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.
Getting Started
To get started, select: File → Import → Network from web services...

Example #1: Retrieving Protein-Protein Interaction Networks from IntAct
Select: File → Import → Network from web services...
From the pull-down menu, select the IntAct Web Service Client.
- Enter a search term, such as BRCA1
- Click the Search button.

After confirming the download of interaction data, the network of BRCA1 will be imported and visualized.
Example #2: Retrieving Pathways and Networks from Pathway Commons
Select: File → Import → Network from web services...
- From the pull-down menu, select the Pathway Commons Service Client.
Then, follow the three-step process outlined below:
- Step 1: Enter your search term; for example: BRCA1
- Step 2: Select the protein or small molecule of interest. Full details regarding each molecule is shown in the bottom left panel.
- Step 3: Download a specific pathway or interaction network.

In Step 3, you can simply double-click on a pathway of interest, or click on the Interaction Networks tab. The Interaction Networks tab enables you to filter interactions by data source and/or interaction type. For example, you can choose to restrict your network to direct physical interactions from HPRD and MINT only:
