Introduction
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



- 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.


- 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.
