From its origin the Protein Sequence Database has been designed to support research and has focused on comprehensive coverage, quality control and organization of the data in accordance with biological principles. Since 1988 the database has been maintained collaboratively within the framework of PIR-International, an association of macromolecular sequence data collection centers dedicated to fostering international cooperation as an essential element in the development of scientific databases. The database is widely distributed and is available on the World Wide Web, via ftp, email server, on CD-ROM and magnetic media. It is widely redistributed and incorporated into many other protein sequence data compilations, including SWISS-PROT and the Entrez system of the NCBI.
蛋白质序列数据库从一开始就被设计用于支持研究工作,并专注于全面覆盖、质量控制以及按照生物学原理对数据进行组织。自1988年以来,该数据库在国际蛋白质信息资源(PIR-International)的框架内进行合作维护,PIR-International是一个大分子序列数据收集中心协会,致力于促进国际合作,将其作为科学数据库发展的重要元素。该数据库广泛分发,可通过万维网、文件传输协议(ftp)、电子邮件服务器、光盘和磁介质获取。它被广泛重新分发并纳入许多其他蛋白质序列数据汇编中,包括SWISS-PROT和美国国立医学图书馆国家生物技术信息中心(NCBI)的Entrez系统。
