What is Swiss-Prot ID?
Table of Contents
The Swiss-Prot ID is a unique identifier assigned to a protein sequence in Swiss-Prot, a curated protein sequence database that provides a high level of annotation (such as the description of protein function, domain structures, post-translational modifications, variants, and so on), a minimal level of redundancy, and …
What is UniProtKB Swiss-Prot database?
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot is the manually annotated and reviewed section of the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB). It is a high quality annotated and non-redundant protein sequence database, which brings together experimental results, computed features and scientific conclusions.
What data and tools does UniProt provide?
To build upon this protein data and to aid analysis, UniProt provides three main tools; ‘BLAST’ (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool), ‘Align’ multiple sequence alignment tool and ‘Retrieve/ID Mapping’ for batch retrievals of UniProt entries and ID mapping between UniProt and external databases.
How do I access SWISS-PROT?
There are multiple sites on the Web that can access the Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL and retrieve the database. Its main sites are the ExPASy Molecular Biology website (http://www.expasy.org/) and the European Institute of Bioinformatics (EBI) website (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/swissprot/).
Is Swiss-Prot a primary database?
Complete answer: SWISS PROT is a protein sequence database. Annotations in the database provide all the information regarding the structure and function of a particular protein along with its functions and modifications if any. The data is all primary and easily accessible.
How do I access Swiss-Prot?
Is UniProt and Swiss-Prot same?
UniProtKB/TrEMBL is a computer-annotated (unreviewed) supplement to Swiss-Prot, which strives to gather all protein sequences that are not yet represented in Swiss-Prot.
What does SWISS-PROT entry contain?
SWISS-PROT contains the information about the name and origin of the protein, protein attributes, general information, ontologies, sequence annotation, amino acid sequence, bibliographic references, cross-references with sequence, structure and interaction databases, and entry information.
