Next-generation sequencing to generate interactome datasets

Nat Methods. 2011 Jun;8(6):478-80. doi: 10.1038/nmeth.1597. Epub 2011 Apr 24.

Abstract

Next-generation sequencing has not been applied to protein-protein interactome network mapping so far because the association between the members of each interacting pair would not be maintained in en masse sequencing. We describe a massively parallel interactome-mapping pipeline, Stitch-seq, that combines PCR stitching with next-generation sequencing and used it to generate a new human interactome dataset. Stitch-seq is applicable to various interaction assays and should help expand interactome network mapping.
