CPATH-665984

[Anagha Divekar]

Hello

I am new to Cytoscape. I was looking at the NGAL pathway and it shows
a tiny square with the numbers 110126 and if I click on it, it gives a
CPATH ID of 665984. What does that mean?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
anagha

Hi Anagha,
A small square in a pathway diagram loaded from cpath represents an interaction. If you see a square connected to only one molecule, then it means there is a self-interaction. In the case of NGAL, it seems there are two self interactions - one from BioGRID and one from HPRD databases. The numbers on the squares are the names of the interactions. Usually interactions don't have names, but in this case, the biogrid database has named them with numbers which correspond to their internal identifiers - not very useful and maybe something that should be suppressed when displaying in Cytoscape. I've made a note about this and we will update that in the next version of the plugin.

Hope that helps,
Gary
