Apart from in-house predictions and homology transfers, STRING relies on many fine resources maintained elsewhere:
 
BioCyc   •   BioGRID   •   COG   •   COMPARTMENTS   •   DIP   •   DISEASES   •   EggNOG   •   Ensembl   •   FlyBase   •   GEO   •   Gene Ontology   •   HPRD   •   HUGO   •   Intact   •   InterPro   •   KEGG   •   MINT   •   OMIM   •   PDB   •   Pfam   •   ProteomeHD   •   PubMed Central   •   Reactome   •   RefSeq   •   SGD   •   SIMAP   •   SMART   •   SwissModel   •   TISSUES   •   UniProt   •   WikiPathways   •   WormBase   •   proGenomes
 
...and many others. Their input and support are gratefully acknowledged!
Partner Resources
STRING shares genomes, names-spaces, homology relations, and various data processing pipelines with a number of partner resources on the web. These are cross-referenced and provide added value to each other.
 
eggNOG
eggNOG: gene orthology
STITCH
STITCH: protein-chemical networks
Compartments
Compartments: cellular localizations
Software Code, Libraries, and Services
STRING is built using software technologies from the following entities:
 
Nginx: http web server
Unbit: web server gateway interface
PostgreSQL Global Development Group: postgres database server
Python Software Foundation: python version 3.7.6
auth0.com: social login functionality
cloudflare.com: online caching and protection
