The UniProt consortium and host institutions EMBL-EBI, SIB and PIR are committed to the long-term preservation of the UniProt databases. UniProt is a collaboration between the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) , the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and the Protein Information Resource (PIR) .
UniProt is a freely accessible database of protein sequence and functional information, many entries being derived from genome sequencing projects. It contains a large amount of information about the biological function of proteins derived from the research literature. It is maintained by the UniProt consortium, which consists of several ...
UniProt - Exploring protein sequence and functional information. Join speakers from UniProt as they explore this data resource of protein sequence and functional information. The series will start with presentation of the UniProt website, followed by an interactive exploration of the API for programmatic access.
The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central hub for the collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate, consistent and rich annotation. In addition to capturing the core data mandatory for each UniProtKB entry (mainly, the amino acid sequence, protein name or description, taxonomic data and citation information), as much annotation information as possible is added.
Jan 1, 2017 · The UniProt knowledgebase is a large resource of protein sequences and associated detailed annotation. The database contains over 60 million sequences, of which over half a million sequences have been curated by experts who critically review experimental and predicted data for each protein. The remainder are automatically annotated based on ...
