What do you need to know about UniProtKB?

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.

How do we manually annotate a UniProtKB entry?

Manual annotation consists of a critical review of experimentally proven or computer-predicted data about each protein, including the protein sequences. Data are continuously updated by an expert team of biologists. How do we manually annotate a UniProtKB entry?

Which is the best site to download UniProt data?

For downloading complete data sets we recommend using ftp.uniprot.org. If you are located in Europe, the Middle East or Africa, you may want to download data from our mirror site in the United Kingdom or in Switzerland instead.

How are sequences in UniProtKB / SWISS PROT reviewed?

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot (reviewed) is a high quality manually annotated and non-redundant protein sequence database, which brings together experimental results, computed features and scientific conclusions. How redundant are sequences in UniProtKB?

Which is the central hub of the UniProt KnowledgeBase?

The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central hub for the collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate, consistent and rich annotation.

What do you need to know about the UniProt database?

UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central access point for extensive curated protein information, including function, classification, and cross- reference. The database is divided into two section UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot which is manually curated and UniProtKB/TrEMBL which is automatically maintained.
