Welcome to OmicsIntegrator
Forest takes protein data, maps it onto a large interactome network, and then uses the Prize-Collecting Steiner Forest algorithm to identify a high-confidence subnetwork relevant to your data. This can help identify cellular pathways and other proteins that are involved in your experimental system.
