Documentation

Documentation, provenance and evidence ontology

The documentation makes every record reproducible: what was integrated, how it was curated, how evidence is classified and how the resource can be cited.


Data sources

BactoInteractDB integrates authoritative biological resources while preserving source identifiers, versions, publication links and evidence provenance.

Evidence ontology

EXPDirect experimental molecular interaction
CURCurated pathogenicity / phenotype evidence
INFInferred association (orthology / network)
PREDComputational prediction, shown separately from experimental evidence
Evidence principle

Experimental, curated, inferred and predicted relationships remain explicitly distinguishable throughout the interface and in all downloadable data.
