Protein Interaction Network Screensaver

The Protein Interaction Network screensaver shows the proteins a given human gene's product is known to interact with, drawn as a force-directed graph from the STRING database, key-less. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.

How the Protein Interaction Network screensaver works

The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.

The proteins a given human gene's product is known to interact with, drawn as a force-directed graph from the STRING database, key-less. Edge thickness is STRING's confidence score, and the seed protein rotates so the picture is never the same for long.

It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.

Colours and any options can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
