PIMWalker: visualising protein interaction networks using the HUPO PSI molecular interaction format.
This article reports on PIMWalker, a free and interactive tool for visualising protein interaction networks. PIMWalker handles the unified molecular interaction (MI) format defined by members of the Proteomics Standards Initiative (the PSI MI format), and it is thus directly and easily usable by bench biologists. PIMWalker also comes with a documented, open-source Javatrade mark application programming interface allowing the bioinformatic programmer to easily extend the functions.
