An ontology-based search engine for protein-protein interactions

Background: Keyword matching or ID matching is the most common searching method in a large database of protein-protein interactions. They are purely syntactic methods, and retrieve the records in the database that contain a keyword or ID specified in a query. Such syntactic search methods often retrieve too few search results or no results despite many potential matches present in the database. Results: We have developed a new method for representing protein-protein interactions and the Gene Ontology (GO) using modified G
