SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide
a high level of annotation (such as the description of the function of a
protein, its domain structure, post-translational modifications, variants,
etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with
other databases. Recent developments of the database include:
cross-references to additional databases; a variety of new documentation
files and improvements to TrEMBL, a computer annotated supplement to
SWISS-PROT. TrEMBL 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. The URLs
for SWISS-PROT on the WWW are: http://www.expasy.ch/sprot and http://www.
ebi.ac.uk/sprot
