The International Molecular Exchange Consortium (IMEx)[1] is a group of the major public providers of molecular interaction data to provide a single, non-redundant set of molecular interactions. Data is captured using a detailed curation model and made available in the PSI-MI standard formats. Participating databases include DIP, IntAct,[2] the Molecular Interaction Database (MINT),[3] MatrixDB,[4] InnateDB, IID, HPIDB, UCL Cardiovascular Gene Annotation, MBInfo, Molecular Connections and UniProt.[1] The group collates the interaction data and prevents duplicate entries in the various databases. The IMEx consortium also supports and contributes to the development of the HUPO-PSI-MI XML format, which is now widely implemented.[1][5]
