celegans_interactomes — C. elegans interactomes (2009)

Description

Networks of protein–protein interactions and other functional relationships between genes of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, from the study of N. Simonis and collaborators at the Center for Cancer Systems Biology (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute), which produced an empirically controlled, high-quality map of the C. elegans interactome. Nodes are genes (proteins), identified by their C. elegans sequence names (e.g. AC7.2), and an undirected edge connects two genes that are related in the corresponding source (a physical interaction between their proteins, a genetic interaction, correlated expression or similar phenotypes, see below). There are ten networks:

  • wi2004: protein interactions from the first high-throughput yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) map of Li et al. (2004);
  • wi2007: protein interactions from the new Y2H screens of Simonis et al. (Worm Interactome version 2007);
  • BPmaps: Y2H interactions from earlier smaller-scale "biological process maps" focused on specific processes;
  • WI8: the union of wi2004, wi2007 and BPmaps;
  • LCI: literature-curated interactions supported by small-scale experiments;
  • Interolog: interactions predicted from interactions between orthologous proteins in other species;
  • Genetic: genetic interactions;
  • Microarray: pairs of genes with highly correlated expression profiles in microarray experiments;
  • Phenotypes: pairs of genes with similar phenotypic profiles (e.g. in RNAi experiments);
  • IntegratedNetwork: the union of all of the above sources.

The networks have the following properties:

  • Nodes: name, the gene's sequence name.
  • Edges (Microarray): pcc, the Pearson correlation coefficient of the expression profiles of the two genes.
  • Edges (Phenotypes): phenotypes, the phenotypic similarity score of the two genes.
  • Edges (WI8): wi2004, wi2007 and bpmaps, the status of the interaction in each of the three source data sets (e.g. core or noncore; empty if the interaction is not in the data set).
  • Edges (IntegratedNetwork): wi8, lci, interologs and genetic, whether the edge is present in the corresponding source network; phenotypes and coexpression, the phenotypic similarity score and the expression correlation of the two genes (NaN if not available).

The networks come from the C. elegans download page of the CCSB Interactome Database, whose other data sets are in the entries yeast_interactome_ccsb and collins_yeast (yeast) and interactome_vidal and human_interactome_2014 (human).
