Searching for protein sequence and functional information data
UniProt provides a comprehensive, high-quality and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information.
In this recorded webinar with Paul Denny, Senior Database Curator, discover ways in which you may take a structured approach to access the data in the UniProtKB and Proteomes sections of the UniProt protein function database.
The video will discuss the types of data that can be accessed, and using sequence analysis tools, how this data can be analysed to answer biological questions. It will demonstrate how to find the function of a protein, how the protein components of a pathway may be identified, features of proteins of interest can be compared, similar sections of sequence can be sought in other species and how whole data sets containing all the proteins expressed in an organism can be obtained. By accessing sequence, structural and functional data through UniProt, you can follow data’s biological journey and support further work and adventures along the way!
