Q&A

1. How do I search all the interactions involving the protein NP:477306

  - Type NP_477306 on the search text box
  - Select ACCESSION from type drop down menu
  - (optional) restrict the search within a certain taxon identifier by selecting the id from Taxon
  - Click Search & load
  

2. How do I load a list of identifiers form a file

  - For this you need to create plain text file with the list of identifiers  
  - First line of the file should be the type of search and the taxonomy identifier
    e.g. #accession:96065
  - There is a sample file available in the following directory
    Unix
    /...../Cytoscape_v2.6.0/plugins/iRefIndex/Sample_batch.txt 
    Windows:
    \.....\Cytoscape_v2.6.0\plugins\iRefIndex\Sample_batch.txt
