Swiss-Prot
Protein knowledgebase
TrEMBL
Computer-annotated supplement to Swiss-Prot

The UniProt Knowledgebase consists of:

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot; 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 domains structure, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with other databases [More details / References / Linking to Swiss-Prot / User manual / Recent changes / Disclaimer].
UniProtKB/TrEMBL; a computer-annotated supplement of Swiss-Prot that contains all the translations of EMBL nucleotide sequence entries not yet integrated in Swiss-Prot.

These databases are developed by the Swiss-Prot groups at SIB and at EBI.

UniProt Knowledgebase Release 14.6 consists of:
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Release 56.6 of 16-Dec-2008: 405506 entries (More statistics)
UniProtKB/TrEMBL Release 39.6 of 16-Dec-2008: 6964485 entries (More statistics)
