description: 'STRING (Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins) is
  a database of known and predicted protein interactions.

  The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations;
  they are derived from four sources:Genomic Context, High-throughput Experiments,(Conserved)
  Coexpression, Previous Knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data
  from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between
  these organisms where applicable.'
