Abstract:

UniProtKB provides the scientific community with a comprehensive collection of protein sequence records containing extensive curated information including functional and sequence annotation. This information is derived from a variety of sources such as scientific literature and sequence analysis programs as well as data imported from automatic annotation systems and external databases. To allow users to ascertain the origin of each data item in a UniProtKB record, an evidence attribution system is being introduced which links each piece of information to its original source. This system allows users to trace the origin of all information, to differentiate easily between experimental and computational data, and to assess data reliability. The current system and plans for its future development and enhancement will be presented.

The presenter was really good in explaining her work and discussing the role of UniProtKB.
