The Conserved Domain Database (CDD) provides protein domain annotations to researchers. Ongoing efforts focus on enhancing annotation coverage and consistency for improved protein analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • The Conserved Domain Database (CDD) is a vital public resource for protein annotation.
  • It identifies conserved domain footprints within protein sequences.
  • CDD has been serving the scientific community for 15 years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the ongoing efforts to improve the coverage and consistency of protein domain annotations within CDD.
  • To highlight the database's features, including live search and bulk retrieval options.
  • To emphasize the integration of external domain collections and in-house curation.

Main Methods:

  • Maintaining a live search system for real-time access to annotations.
  • Providing an archive of pre-computed domain annotations for sequences in the Entrez protein database.
