FAIRsharing record for: Minimum Information about a Molecular Interaction Causal Statement

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Minimum Information about a Molecular Interaction Causal Statement (MI2CAST) guidelines describe the minimum and necessary information to depict causal interactions in molecular biology, as well as contextual details. The aim is to homogenize their representation for better usability and understanding, by making the data “FAIR” (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible). This checklist considers terms used in different formats (e.g., PSI-MITAB2.8, BEL, GO-CAM) and covers the full range of metadata that should ideally be annotated during the curation process to enrich the description of a molecular causal interaction. Complying with these guidelines should be considered as good practice for the annotation of causal statements to generate high quality statements.
