Abstract

High-quality datasets are needed to understand how global and local properties of protein-protein interaction, or 'interactome', networks relate to biological mechanisms, and to guide research on individual proteins. In an evaluation of existing curation of protein interaction experiments reported in the literature, we found that curation can be error-prone and possibly of lower quality than commonly assumed. ...

Abstract

Information on protein-protein interactions is of central importance for many areas of biomedical research. At present no method exists to systematically and experimentally assess the quality of individual interactions reported in interaction mapping experiments. To provide a standardized confidence-scoring method that can be applied to tens of thousands of protein interactions, we have developed an interaction tool kit consisting of four complementary, high-throughput protein interaction assays. We benchmarked these assays against positive and random reference sets consisting of well documented pairs ...

Abstract

High-throughput yeast two-hybrid screening is used to generate the largest C. elegans interactome resource available thus far. Using an empirical quality control framework presented in Venkatesan et al., also online, the data set is evaluated for quality and is used to estimate the total size of the worm interactome. ...
