Update in progress: note to all users. FAIRsharing is always available for you to search and discover databases, standards and data policies. However, for producers of these resources who maintain or wish to add new records, please note that editing is disabled until September while we migrate our data to our new, improved system. Read our blog post or get in touch with us for more details.

21/09/21 Network Maintenance: On the 21st of September FAIRsharing will be offline at some point during the day; we apologise for any inconvenience.

The Network Data Exchange

Abbreviation:NDEx

Recommended

General Information

NDEx is an online commons where scientists can upload, share, and publicly distribute biological networks and pathway models. The NDEx Project maintains a web-accessible public server, a documentation website, provides seamless connectivity to Cytoscape as well as programmatic access using a variety of languages including Python and Java. NDEx users can easily create accounts or sign in using their Google credentials thanks to the supported open authentication (OAUTH2) method and mint DOIs for their networks to use in publications or include in other resources for long term access.
