New InterPro DAS Service Released
We are pleased to announce the new InterPro DAS service, which provides three data sources, the "InterPro" data source is identical to the original data source, the "InterPro" data source, InterPro-UniParc-matches and the InterPro-UniParc-matches data source.
The data available from the "InterPro" and "InterPro-Matches-overview" data sources are available by default from the Dasty and SPICE DAS clients ...more

InterPro Team Home Page

The InterPro Team is headed by Sarah Hunter

The team is part of the PANDA Group and is responsible for the maintenance of the InterPro and CluSTr projects and the development of a new European resource for metagenomics.

InterPro

InterPro (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/) is an integrated documentation resource for protein families, domains and functional sites. The project integrates protein signatures from Pfam, PRINTS, PROSITE, ProDom, TIGRFAMs, PIRSF, SUPERFAMILY, Gene3D, PANTHER and HAMAP. As well as grouping together related signatures, InterPro adds biological annotation and provides links to external databases such as GO, PDB, SCOP, CATH and ENZYME. All InterPro matches to UniProt proteins are calculated monthly using the InterProScan software (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/InterProScan/), and displayed in InterPro entries in various formats. InterPro has a number of important applications, including protein functional classification and automatic annotation of proteins for UniProtKB and genome annotation projects.

Metagenomics

EBI is developing a portal for the archiving, analysis and integration of metagenomics data. A site containing information about how to submit metagenomics projects to EBI is available at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics/. This site will develop further to include analysis and browsing capabilities during 2010.
