STRING Network Analysis

Published

Jun 2026

STRING can be used to explore protein-protein association networks among differentially abundant proteins.

Network Analysis Goals

STRING analysis can help identify:

connected protein modules
biological processes represented by protein clusters
hub proteins
pathway-level structure
candidate proteins for follow-up

Input Lists

Recommended inputs:

all significant DEP
upregulated DEP
downregulated DEP
top ranked proteins
