Differences in gene name and query term while retrieving genemania network through Cytoscape

[Niveda-S]

Thanks for the response! I would like further clarification on the following:

1. I have a list of protein ids that I would like to use as input for genemania. I have noticed that using protein ids as opposed to the official gene symbols of the proteins gives slightly varied responses. Which method do you suggest I use?

2. Also, in the case I described above:

SUID | annotation name | annotations | log score | name | gene name | query term | node type | score | selected | shared name | Synonym
6557 |   |   | -0.48442 | H__sapiens__5_-702658 | query | DNAJA1 | HSJ2 | 0.616054 | FALSE | H__sapiens__5_-702658 | HSJ2
6567 |   |   | -0.414 | H__sapiens__5_-704214 | query | DNAJB6 | MRJ | 0.660998 | FALSE | H__sapiens__5_-704214 | MRJ

should I be using the query term or the gene term as the interactor names?

Thanks,
Niveda
