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
