Protein Interaction Network Analysis (PINA) platform is an integrated platform for protein interaction network construction, filtering, analysis, visualization, and management. It integrates protein-protein interaction (PPI) data from public curated databases and builds a complete, non-redundant protein interaction dataset for six model organisms. In particular, it provides a variety of built-in tools to filter and analyze the networks for gaining biological and functional insights into the network.
PINA v2.0  Mining interactome modules.
PINA v3.0   Revealing tumour type-specific insights from PPI networks.

News:
26 Sept. 2020 : The normalization strategy of mRNA expression data was updated to be comparable with other published studies, and the tutorial step-by-step case study was updated accordingly. The Data & Statistics page was redesigned to be more informative.

Usage

Network construction supports generating a protein-protein interaction network from:
Integrated network viewer is an interactive and multi-functional tool to view, highlight, filter, show cancer context, analyze, and download a PPI network seamlessly.
Cancer Context provides a number of new analysis and visualization utilities by integrating PPI data with TCGA and CPTAC datasets:
  • to infer network proteins with tumor type expression specificity.
  • to identify candidate prognosis biomarkers, putative mutational cancer drivers, and therapeutic targets in a network, for a specific cancer type.
  • to identify pairs of co-expressing interacting proteins across cancer types.
Interactome modules provide multiple collections of network modules identified from Interactomes by applying several clustering algorithms with different parameter settings.
  • The identified modules have been comprehensively annotated with known knowledge from Gene Ontology, KEGG pathways, PFAM domains, and MSigDB.
  • Users can either simply search modules or identify enriched modules from the list of query proteins.
User space allows users to upload/edit interaction networks and to save on the server with account protection. The saved networks can be used as the input of the analysis tools.

Check the online Tutorial for a more detailed explanation of theuser interface and results.
