Swiss-Prot
Protein knowledgebase

The UniProt Knowledgebase consists of:

  • UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot; a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide a high level of annotation (such as the description of the function of a protein, its domains structure, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with other databases [More details / References / Linking to Swiss-Prot / User manual / Recent changes / Disclaimer].
  • UniProtKB/TrEMBL; a computer-annotated supplement of Swiss-Prot that contains all the translations of EMBL nucleotide sequence entries not yet integrated in Swiss-Prot.

These databases are developed by the Swiss-Prot groups at SIB and at EBI.
