Datasources
Apart from in-house predictions and homology transfers, STRING relies on many fine resources maintained elsewhere:
COG • Ensembl • Intact • RefSeq • PubMed • Reactome • DIP • BioGRID • MINT • KEGG • SGD • FlyBase • SwissProt/UniProt • SwissModel • HUGO • OMIM • NCI/Nature PID • PDB • The Interactive Fly • BioCyc • Gene Ontology • SIMAP
...and many others. Their input and support are gratefully acknowledged!

| Apache Foundation: | http webserver |
| PostgreSQL Global Development Group: | postgres database server |
| Perl Foundation: | perl version 5.18 |

Partner Resources
STRING shares genomes, names-spaces, homology relations, and various data processing pipelines with a number of partner resources on the web. These are cross-referenced and provide added value to each other.
