About this site
This site is made to search short peptide sequences from 3 amino acids length and more in UniProt Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB databases.
Database update
The database updates almost the same time official UniProtKB database does which is approximately once every 8 weeks.
Taxonomy
The taxonomy is implemented identically to the NCBI taxonomy.
Note that NCBI IDs and organism names may not coincide with
data from UniProt knowledgebase.
The reason is that UniProt updates its taxonomy also once every 8 weeks.
However, our database uses NCBI Taxonomy which receive new updates daily so
it might happen that version we used for update differs from version UniProt did. If you see 'deleted'
in taxonomy list - it means there is no lineage for this taxon in our database. For more information about taxon
you should move to UniProt official site or
NCBI Taxonomy Browser.
Isoforms
Right now only additional manually curated isoform sequences that are described in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot from uniprot_sprot_varsplic.fasta.gz are available.
