| Q3 : |
On a certain search, protein-protein interaction (Molecular Interactions) does not appear in a network graph. Why? |
| A3 : |
For display the interaction in the graph, the maximum number of proteins is set to 199. In case the number is greater than the limit, the graph description takes too much time, hence only a table of interactions appears. |
-
| Q4 : |
Sometimes nodes in the graph of protein-protein interactions (Molecular Interactions) are not displayed? Is this a bug of the software? |
| A4 : |
The display status of the node somehow depends on the browser. Safari seems to have a problem sometimes on node display. Use other browsers. |

| Q5 : |
Data link error, such as missing page, often happens when clicking the edge of the protein-protein interactions. What is the cause of the problem? |
| A5 : |
VaProS-BINDS depends on various remote databases on the real time, hence VaProS-BINDS encounters such issue when the remote database is under maintenance, Please try the search again after a while. |

| Q6 : |
Search by gene name has a problem, when genes with serial numbers are the search target (xxx1, xxx2, xxx3). How can I search such genes on VaProS-BINDS? |
| A6 : |
In such a case, specify the search target by adding "[gene/protein]" at the end of gene name. |
