bc_get_string_network_image

Retrieve a network image for a specific protein from the STRING database. Specify the protein symbol, species taxonomy ID, and optional parameters like network flavor and score threshold to generate the image.

Instructions

Get a network image for a given protein from the STRING database.

Always provide the species parameter to ensure the correct protein is returned.

Args: protein_symbol (str): The name of the protein to search for (e.g., "TP53"). species (str): The species taxonomy ID (e.g., "10090" for mouse). flavor (str): The network flavor to use (default: "confidence"). min_score (int): Minimum combined score threshold (default: 700).

Returns: Image: The network image for the protein.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`flavor`	No	The network flavor to use	confidence
`min_score`	No	Minimum combined score threshold
`protein_symbol`	Yes	The name of the protein to search for (e.g., 'TP53')
`species`	Yes	The species taxonomy ID (e.g., '10090' for mouse)
