  • Protein databases covered
    Sequence- and text-based searches were performed on NCBI's redundant and non-redundant (nr) peptide sequence databases. These databases are derived from GenBank, EMBL, and DDBJ translated DNA coding regions, plus protein sequences from the PDB (Protein Data Bank), SWISS-PROT, the PIR (Protein Information Resource), and the PRF (Protein Research Foundation).

  • Number of entries
    Due to overlap between histone classes, the species total is noncumulative.
