Donaldson group (2006-2012)
Our primary interests included protein interaction data consolidation, text mining and data mining especially with respect to diseases.
Research focus
The Donaldson Group conducted research and developed tools within the field of Bioinformatics.

iRefIndex (interaction Reference Index) provides an index of protein interactions available in a number of primary interaction databases including BIND, BioGRID, CORUM, DIP, HPRD, IntAct, MINT, MPact, MPPI and OPHID. This index allows the user to search for a protein and retrieve a non-redundant list of interactors for that protein. |

iRefScape is a plugin for Cytoscape that exposes iRefIndex data as a navigable graphical network. |

iRefWeb provides a searchable web interface to the iRefIndex. iRefWeb also provides visualization of statistics related to iRefIndex and allows users to compare annotation of the same publication by multiple interaction databases. |

The Disease Groups project groups together phenotypically related disease-gene associations found in OMIM's Morbid Map. The resulting map of disease genes may be used to explore relationships between disease genes in the human protein-interactome. |
