BioGRID: a general repository for interaction datasets

TLDR
BioGRID is a freely accessible database of physical and genetic interactions that includes >116 000 interactions from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster and Homo sapiens.
Abstract
Access to unified datasets of protein and genetic interactions is critical for interrogation of gene/protein function and analysis of global network properties. BioGRID is a freely accessible database of physical and genetic interactions available at http://www.thebiogrid.org. BioGRID release version 2.0 includes >116 000 interactions from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster and Homo sapiens. Over 30 000 interactions have recently been added from 5778 sources through exhaustive curation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae primary literature. An internally hyper-linked web interface allows for rapid search and retrieval of interaction data. Full or user-defined datasets are freely downloadable as tab-delimited text files and PSI-MI XML. Pre-computed graphical layouts of interactions are available in a variety of file formats. User-customized graphs with embedded protein, gene and interaction attributes can be constructed with a visualization system called Osprey that is dynamically linked to the BioGRID.

Defining the Human Deubiquitinating Enzyme Interaction Landscape

TL;DR: A global proteomic analysis of Dubs and their associated protein complexes provided the first glimpse into the Dub interaction landscape, places previously unstudied Dubs within putative biological pathways, and identifies previously unknown interactions and protein complexes involved in this increasingly important arm of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

Identification and characterization of essential genes in the human genome

TL;DR: Using the bacterial clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system, this article constructed a genome-wide single-guide RNA library to screen for genes required for proliferation and survival in a human cancer cell line.

Walking the Interactome for Prioritization of Candidate Disease Genes

TL;DR: This work presents a method for prioritization of candidate genes by use of a global network distance measure, random walk analysis, for definition of similarities in protein-protein interaction networks, significantly outperforming previous methods based on local distance measures.

Classical Nuclear Localization Signals: Definition, Function, and Interaction with Importin α

TL;DR: The best understood system for the transport of macromolecules between the cytoplasm and the nucleus is the classical nuclear import pathway and a bioinformatics approach is taken to analyze the likely prevalence of this system in vivo.

A comprehensive analysis of protein–protein interactions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: Examination of large-scale yeast two-hybrid screens reveals interactions that place functionally unclassified proteins in a biological context, interactions between proteins involved in the same biological function, and interactions that link biological functions together into larger cellular processes.

A comprehensive two-hybrid analysis to explore the yeast protein interactome

TL;DR: The comprehensive analysis using a system to examine two-hybrid interactions in all possible combinations between the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is completed and would significantly expand and improve the protein interaction map for the exploration of genome functions that eventually leads to thorough understanding of the cell as a molecular system.

From molecular to modular cell biology.

TL;DR: General principles that govern the structure and behaviour of modules may be discovered with help from synthetic sciences such as engineering and computer science, from stronger interactions between experiment and theory in cell biology, and from an appreciation of evolutionary constraints.
