mentha archives evidence collected from different sources and presents these data in a complete and comprehensive way. Its
data comes from manually curated protein-protein interaction databases that have adhered to the IMEx consortium. The aggregated
data forms an interactome which includes many organisms. mentha is a resource that offers a series of tools to analyse selected
proteins in the context of a network of interactions. Protein interaction databases archive protein-protein interaction (PPI)
information from published articles. However, no database alone has sufficient literature coverage to offer a complete resource
to investigate "the interactome". mentha's approach generates every week a consistent interactome (graph). Most importantly,
the procedure assigns to each interaction a reliability score that takes into account all the supporting evidence. mentha
offers eight interactomes (Homo sapiens, Arabidopsis thaliana, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, Escherichia
coli K12, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae) plus a global network that comprises every organism,
including those not mentioned. The website and the graphical application are designed to make the data stored in mentha accessible
and analysable to all users. Source databases are: MINT, IntAct, DIP, MatrixDB and BioGRID.
