Abstract
UniProt is the protein sequence database of the European Bioinformatics Institute. It is an extraordinarily well constructed, curated, and integrated resource. As a public resource, its results are freely accessible world-wide. The "Knowledge Base" (UniProtKB), which is the database proper, contains two subsections: SwissProt, the manually curated and heavily annotated protein sequence repository; it is approximately equivalent to the NCBI Refseq protein database, albeit with usually higher annotation levels. TrEMBL is much larger and contains sequences that have been computationally translated from the EMBL nucleotide sequence collection. It is approximately equivalent to the NCBI's Entrez protein database. The URL links to the entry for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell-cycle regulation transcription factor Mbp1.

[ PubMed ] [ DOI ] The mission of UniProt is to support biological research by providing a freely accessible, stable, comprehensive, fully classified, richly and accurately annotated protein sequence knowledgebase, with extensive cross-references and querying interfaces. UniProt is comprised of four major components, each optimized for different uses: the UniProt Archive, the UniProt Knowledgebase, the UniProt Reference Clusters and the UniProt Metagenomic and Environmental Sequence Database. A key development at UniProt is the provision of complete, reference and representative proteomes. UniProt is updated and distributed every 4 weeks and can be accessed online for searches or download at http://www.uniprot.org. |
