SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide a high level of annotations (such as the description of the function of a protein, structure of its domains, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with other databases. Recent developments of the database include: an increase in the number and scope of model organisms; cross-references to two additional databases; a variety of new documentation files and the creation of TrEMBL, a computer annotated supplement to SWISS-PROT. This supplement consists of entries in SWISS-PROT-like format derived from the translation of all coding sequences (CDS) in the EMBL nucleotide sequence database, except the CDS already included in SWISS-PROT.
SWISS-PROT是一个经过精心整理的蛋白质序列数据库，致力于提供高水平的注释（如蛋白质功能描述、结构域结构、翻译后修饰、变体等），最低限度的冗余以及与其他数据库的高度整合。该数据库的最新进展包括：模式生物的数量和范围有所增加；与另外两个数据库建立了交叉引用；有各种新的文档文件，并创建了TrEMBL，这是SWISS-PROT的计算机注释补充数据库。该补充数据库由源自EMBL核苷酸序列数据库中所有编码序列（CDS）翻译的SWISS-PROT格式条目组成，但不包括SWISS-PROT中已有的CDS。
