Search Tab: Find interactions.
PubMed Reports Tab: See for a given set of PubMeds which databases annotated which interactions.
PubMed Detail Tab: For a given PubMed examine in detail the differences and agreements on interactions and interactors between the annotating databases.
iRefWeb is an interface to a relational database containing the latest build of the interaction Reference Index (iRefIndex) which integrates protein interaction data from nine different interaction databases: BioGRID, BIND, CORUM, DIP, HPRD, INTACT, MINT, MPPI, MPACT and OPHID.
Integration is achieved through a rigorously documented procedure for mapping protein IDs across databases, enabling systematic backtracking of the links used to establish the identity of the interaction partners.
The iRefWeb interface groups interaction records from the different databases into a single non-redundant view. In particular iRefWeb facilitates comparing interaction records as seen by the various source databases relative to the PubMeds they were annotated from.
iRefWeb is one of several views of the iRefIndex resource. Data are also available in a tab-delimited plain-text format (PSI-MITAB) as well as planned releases of a PSI-XML formatted version and a Cytoscape plugin. Further details about the iRefIndex project as well as data downloads are available from here . The method used to build iRefIndex is described in a recent publication .
