Abstract UniProt is the most comprehensive
catalog of protein sequence and function,
produced by EBI, PIR and SIB. It has three
components optimized for different uses. The
UniProt Knowledgebase is an expertly curated
database. The UniProt Archive provides a
comprehensive sequence repository. UniProt
Reference Clusters merge sequences based on
sequence identity to speed searches.
