How are protein sequence variety and protein diversity represented in UniProtKB?
Last modified April 8, 2008
The article C. R. Biol. (2005) (updated version) gives an overview on cellular processes that can lead to sequence variety and structural diversity in eukaryotes. It explains, with examples, how such processes are represented in UniProtKB.
Further examples can be found in the online tutorial.
This tutorial also shows how to use the UniProtKB annotation to extract specific datasets of entries, e.g.:
- proteins containing a selenocysteine
- proteins whose sequences are derived from a RNA editing event
- proteins containing a GPI-anchor...
Note: Examples on the website might differ slightly from those printed in the article, due to format changes and updates to the annotation.
