The mission of UniProt is to support biological research by providing a freely accessible, stable, comprehensive, fully classified, richly and accurately annotated protein sequence knowledgebase, with extensive cross-references and querying interfaces. UniProt is comprised of four major components, each optimized for different uses: the UniProt Archive, the UniProt Knowledgebase, the UniProt Reference Clusters and the UniProt Metagenomic and Environmental Sequence Database. A key development at UniProt is the provision of complete, reference and representative proteomes. UniProt is updated and distributed every 4 weeks and can be accessed online for searches or download at http://www.uniprot.org.
UniProt 的使命是通过提供免费访问、稳定、全面、完全分类、丰富且准确注释的蛋白质序列知识库,以及广泛的交叉引用和查询界面,来支持生物研究。UniProt 由四个主要部分组成,每个部分都针对不同的用途进行了优化:UniProt 档案、UniProt 知识库、UniProt 参考簇和 UniProt 宏基因组和环境序列数据库。UniProt 的一个重要发展是提供完整的、参考的和有代表性的蛋白质组。UniProt 每 4 周更新一次,并分发一次,可在线访问进行搜索,或在 http://www.uniprot.org 下载。
