About PIG
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play a vital role in initiating infection in a number of pathogens and identifying which interactions allow a pathogen to infect its host can provide potential targets for therapeutics. Public resources for studying host-pathogen systems, in particular PPIs, are scarce. To facilitate the study of host-pathogen PPIs we have collected and integrated said data from a number of public resources to create PIG, a database dedicated to the study of host-pathogen PPIs. PIG provides a number of user interfaces for searching available data and tools for predicting interactions between host and pathogen proteins.
