PIR -- The Protein Information Resource
What you can do:
Search for integrated and annotated information of proteins.
Highlights:
- PIR maintains the Protein Sequence Database (PSD), the most comprehensive annotated protein sequences database in the world.
- Protein family classification is used for sensitive identification, consistent annotation, and detection of annotation errors. The superfamily curation defines signature domain architecture and categorizes memberships to improve automated classification.
- A bibliography system for literature searching, mapping, and user submission, and has conducted retrospective attribution of citations for experimental features is also available.
- PIR also maintains NREF, a non-redundant reference database, and iProClass, an integrated database of protein family, function, and structure information. PIR-NREF provides a timely and comprehensive collection of protein sequences from over 70 completed genomes and more than 100 species (2004).
