NDEx Search Networks

Search the NDEx biological network repository for published networks by keyword. NDEx hosts thousands of curated protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, signaling pathways, gene regulatory networks, and metabolic networks from research publications and databases like NCI-PID and SIGNOR. Returns network names, node/edge counts, DOIs, and UUIDs. Example: search 'BRCA1' finds interaction networks involving BRCA1; search 'p53 signaling' finds p53 pathway networks.
