PaIntDB: network-based omics integration and visualization using protein-protein interactions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract

The Pseudomonas aeruginosa Interaction Database, PaIntDB, is an intuitive web-based tool for network-based systems biology analyses using protein-protein interactions (PPI) in this medically important pathogen. It enables the integration and visualization of omics analyses including RNA-Seq and Tn-Seq. High-throughput datasets can be mapped onto PPI networks, which can be explored visually and filtered to uncover novel putative molecular pathways related to the conditions of study. PaIntDB contains the most comprehensive P.aeruginosa interactome to date, collected from a variety of resources, including interactions predicted computationally to further expand analysis capabilities. The web server implementation makes it easily extendable to other bacterial species. PaIntDB is freely available at https://www.paintdb.ca, the source code and database file are available at https://github.com/yavyx/PaIntDB. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
