PINA4MS 1.0


The Protein Interaction Network Analysis For Multiple Sets (PINA4MS) is a visualization and analysis tool to study interactions between multiple sets of proteins.

PINA4MS uses the curated protein-protein interaction data from PINA and kinase-substrate relationships from PhosphoSitePlus to link proteins both intra- and inter- multiple sets. A number of unique features have also been developed to facilitate the analysis including:
  1. Customized node pie chart allowing users to easily identify common and distinct proteins in the input sets, as well as interactions between different sets;
  2. A clickable Venn diagram is provided on the side panel to support quick selection and highlight of exclusive set(s) of proteins in the network;
  3. A customized layout algorithm, Venn-Galaxy layout, is implemented to provide an elaborate view on the localization of the protein sets and highlight the interface and connections in between.
