## Overview
STRING (Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins) is a comprehensive database of known and predicted protein-protein interactions. This skill enables interaction with STRING's REST API to query protein networks, analyze functional enrichments, and discover interaction partners across 5000+ organisms.
STRING is a comprehensive database of known and predicted protein-protein interactions covering 59M proteins and 20B+ interactions across 5000+ organisms. Query interaction networks, perform functional enrichment, discover partners via REST API for systems biology and pathway analysis.
**Database Statistics:**
- Coverage: 5000+ genomes
- Proteins: ~59.3 million
- Interactions: 20+ billion
- Evidence types: Experimental data, computational prediction, text-mining, pathway databases
## When to Use This Skill
**Data Sources:** Integrates over 40 sources including experimental repositories, pathway databases, automated text-mining, and computational predictions.
This skill should be used when:
- Retrieving protein-protein interaction networks for single or multiple proteins
- Performing functional enrichment analysis (GO, KEGG, Pfam) on protein lists
- Discovering interaction partners and expanding protein networks
- Testing if proteins form significantly enriched functional modules
- Generating network visualizations with evidence-based coloring
- Analyzing homology and protein family relationships
- Conducting cross-species protein interaction comparisons
- Identifying hub proteins and network connectivity patterns
