Protein Spotlight
nature's flaws
September 2012
Nothing is perfect. And nature is no exception. This said, we should be grateful for nature’s imperfections because, were it not for them, we would not be here…
Welcome
The mission of UniProt is to provide the scientific community with a comprehensive, high-quality and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information.
What we provide
| UniProtKB | Protein knowledgebase, consists of two sections:
|
|---|---|
| UniRef | Sequence clusters, used to speed up sequence similarity searches. |
| UniParc | Sequence archive, used to keep track of sequences and their identifiers. |
| Supporting data | Literature citations, taxonomy, keywords, subcellular locations, cross-referenced databases and more. |
Swiss-Prot, which is
manually annotated and reviewed.
TrEMBL, which is
automatically annotated and is not reviewed.Getting started
