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.
