**Now released with Cytoscape automation feature** The CyTargetLinker app extends biological networks with regulatory interactions, for example miRNA-target, TF-target or drug-target interactions. Network nodes need to have an attribute containing a biological identifier, eg. Ensembl or NCBI Gene, to link to regulatory information. We now renamed previous Regulatory Interaction Networks (RegINs) to *linksets* to demonstrate the more generic usability of the CyTargetLinker app. While it was initially developed for regulatory interactions, it can be used for extension with any relationships provided in our XGMML linkset format. We provide some of those CyTargetLinker linksets on our website. You can download these network files from the CyTargetLinker website or create your own. Check out our tutorials on the website to learn how to use CyTargetLinker.
