Description

Get a given distribution of the iRefIndex database from the ftp site.

"iRefIndex" is one of the main efforts to consolidate the information coming from different protein interaction databases in one single repository avoiding redundant information. It has been defined as "an index of protein interactions available in a number of primary interaction databases including BIND, BioGRID, CORUM, DIP, HPRD, IntAct, MINT, Mpact, MPPI and OPHID... This index allows the user to search for a protein and retrieve a non-redundant list of interactors for that protein".
