BioNetBuilder is an open-source client-server Cytoscape plugin that offers a user-friendly interface to create biological networks integrated from several databases. Users can create networks for
1500 organisms, including common model organisms and human. Currently supported databases include: DIP, BIND, Prolinks, KEGG, HPRD, The BioGrid and GO, among others. The BioNetBuilder plugin client is available as a Java Webstart, providing a platform-independent network interface to these public databases.
