How to search UniProt
You can use the search bar in the UniProt banner at the top of all pages to search the various UniProt datasets. To learn more, please watch this short video on the right.
There is a drop-down list to the left of the search bar that allows you to select a data set. There is also an advanced search option on the right hand side of the search bar (Figure 13).
To search one of the UniProt datasets, proceed as follows:
1) Select the appropriate data set (the default selection is UniProtKB)
2) Type in your query
3) Hit the search button
Note that the colour of the dataset field changes depending on the data set, to remind you which data set is selected.
