Pfam is a large collection of protein families and domains. Over the past 2 years the number of families in Pfam has doubled and now stands at 6190 (version 10.0). Methodology improvements for searching the Pfam collection locally as well as via the web are described. Other recent innovations include modelling of discontinuous domains allowing Pfam domain definitions to be closer to those found in structure databases. Pfam is available on the web in the UK (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Pfam/), the USA (http://pfam.wustl.edu/), France (http://pfam.jouy.inra.fr/) and Sweden (http://Pfam.cgb.ki.se/).
Pfam是一个蛋白质家族和结构域的大型集合。在过去两年中,Pfam中的家族数量翻了一番,目前为6190个(10.0版本)。本文描述了在本地以及通过网络搜索Pfam集合的方法改进。最近的其他创新包括对不连续结构域进行建模,使Pfam结构域定义更接近结构数据库中的定义。Pfam在英国(http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Pfam/)、美国(http://pfam.wustl.edu/)、法国(http://pfam.jouy.inra.fr/)和瑞典(http://Pfam.cgb.ki.se/)的网站上均可获取。
