SWISS-PROT is a collaborative protein sequence database providing standardized entries. It ensures data consistency by closely following the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database format.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • SWISS-PROT, established in 1986, is a key annotated protein sequence database.
  • Collaborative maintenance began in 1988, involving the University of Geneva and EMBL Data Library.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the structure and standardization of SWISS-PROT entries.
  • To highlight the collaborative effort in maintaining the database.

Main Methods:

  • The SWISS-PROT database consists of sequence entries.
  • Each entry follows a specific format with different line types.

Main Results:

  • The format of SWISS-PROT entries closely adheres to the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database format for standardization.
