SWISS-PROT is 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 domain structure, post-translational modifications, variants, etc), a minimal level of redundancy and a high level of integration with other databases. Recent developments of the database include: an increase in the number and scope of model organisms; cross-references to seven additional databases; a variety of new documentation files; the creation of TREMBL, and unannotated supplement to SWISS-PROT. This supplement consists of entries in SWISS-PROT-like format derived from the translation of all coding sequences (CDS) in the EMBL nucleotide sequence database, except CDS already included in SWISS-PROT.
SWISS-PROT是一个经过精心整理的蛋白质序列数据库,致力于提供高水平的注释(如蛋白质功能描述、结构域结构、翻译后修饰、变体等)、最低限度的冗余以及与其他数据库的高度整合。该数据库的近期发展包括:模式生物数量和范围的增加;与另外七个数据库的交叉引用;各种新的文档文件;创建了TREMBL,即SWISS-PROT的未注释补充数据库。该补充数据库由源自EMBL核苷酸序列数据库中所有编码序列(CDS)翻译的SWISS-PROT样格式条目组成,但不包括SWISS-PROT中已有的CDS。
