-====== Frequently Asked Questions ======
-The following are commonly asked BioGRID Viewer Questions and Answers...
-===== What does minimum evidence mean? =====
-The minimum evidence select option allows you to show/hide edges based on the number of publications referencing the association. The higher the number, the more evidence in support of that link.
-===== Why aren't all the interactions shown in the summary view also shown in the network view? =====
-In a very small number of cases (less than 0.001%), the number of interactions is too high to display via a graphical network (would crash your browser). In these cases, we've simply used a higher minimum evidence cutoff (shown in the minimum evidence field) to generate a smaller network. All interactions are still accessible via the summary and sortable table views.
-===== What do the different node sizes indicate? =====
-Node size in the network view is a reflection of the number of edges to/from that node. The larger the node, the more edges attached to it.
-===== What do the thicker edge sizes indicate? =====
-Edge size in the network view is a reflection of the number of publications supporting the association. The thicker the edge, the more publications supporting its existence.
-===== How do I bring up the context menu on a Mac? =====
-While this is always a work in progress, if you have a mouse with no right click option, you can use the OS X options of CONTROL+LEFT CLICK or Two Fingers on the Touch Pad to generate a right click. We are currently working on some options to make this more accessible in the near future.
-===== What do the colors on nodes/edges represent? =====
-If you click on the "Help" menu from the menu bar above the network, you can click on "Graph Legend." This will generate a popup notification that will display a detailed breakdown of both node and edge colors.
