protein-protein interaction network

Hi,

I need to construct a protein-protein interaction network using a large gene list. I have tried STRING but the number of genes exceeded the limit (my gene list is around 4000). Any suggestions for another simple tool?

Thanks in advance

Thank you for your quick reply.

I have downloaded STRING and looked for examples to use in R but since I am new to R, I couldn't find what I am looking for. Do you know how can I use STRING in R to create a protein-protein interaction network (Homo sapiens)?

Hi Zelda,

You could try igraph (R) or Cytoscape. WGCNA (R) should be a consideration, too.

For igraph, I have a tutorial: Network plot from expression data in R using igraph
