Recursive interactions?

[matthew...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

This might be a long shot but I'm just a little curious since I couldn't find any documentation on this.

I was wondering if there is any way to recursively query PSICUIC databases to see if interactions between a given set of interactors exist.

Basically, if I know protein A interacts with protein B, C, D and E... do any of B, C, D or E interact with each other? I was wonder if this was possible with a single query, as opposed to looking up each protein separately and then looking through the output for specific interactors.

Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance

something like:

(idA:B or idA:B or idA:D or ...) and (idB:B or idB:C or idB:D or...)

(or whatever the proper lucene/solr syntax would be) might do the trick...

Awesome thanks

((Protein1 and Protein2) or (Protein2 and Protein3)) seem to do the trick!
