The elucidation of a protein’s interaction/association network is important for defining its biological function. Mass spectrometry–based proteomic approaches have emerged as powerful tools for identifying protein–protein interactions (PPIs) and protein–protein associations (PPAs). However, interactome/association experiments are difficult to interpret, considering the complexity and abundance of data that are generated. Although tools have been developed to identify protein interactions/associations quantitatively, there is still a pressing need for easy-to-use tools that allow users to contextualize their results. To address this, we developed CANVS, a computational pipeline that cleans, analyzes, and visualizes mass spectrometry–based interactome/association data. CANVS is wrapped as an interactive Shiny dashboard with simple requirements, allowing users to interface easily with the pipeline, analyze complex experimental data, and create PPI/A networks. The application integrates systems biology databases such as BioGRID and CORUM to contextualize the results. Furthermore, CANVS features a Gene Ontology tool that allows users to identify relevant GO terms in their results and create visual networks with proteins associated with relevant GO terms. Overall, CANVS is an easy-to-use application that benefits all researchers, especially those who lack an established bioinformatic pipeline and are interested in studying interactome/association data.
