From annotation data to interaction networks. Public domain repositories are utilized for gene-centric annotation as well as for retrieving protein coding gene interaction information. Data structures holding the PATRIC ID as central identified are populated with annotation and interaction information, including ortholog mapping for adding to comprehensiveness in annotation. Cross-species interaction networks are built deductively resting on gene functional category assignments (as COG terms) and inductively by utilizing gene interaction information
