General description

The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) is the world’s leading comprehensive, freely accessible, and high-quality resource of protein sequence and functional annotation data.

There exist four UniProt databases:

1. The UniProt Reference Clusters (UniRef) - Clusters of protein at different stages (100%, 90%, and 50%) of identity.
2. The UniProt Sequence Archive (UniParc) - A non-redundant archive of publicly available protein sequences seen across different databases.
3. The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) - A key resource for gathering functional protein data, characterized by its accurate, comprehensive, and consistent annotations. UniProtKB is divided into two sections:

• UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: Features manually annotated records that include information derived from literature reviews and computational analyses evaluated by curators.
• UniProtKB/TrEMBL: Contains records that have been computationally analyzed and are pending comprehensive manual annotation.
