HAMAP -- High-quality Automated and Manual Annotation of Microbial Proteomes

URL:
http://ca.expasy.org/sprot/hamap/
What you can do:
Find information about microbial proteomes.
Highlights:
  • HAMAP uses manually built annotation templates for protein families to propagate annotation to all members of manually defined protein families, using very strict criteria.
  • The HAMAP system is composed of two databases, the proteome database and the family database, and of an automatic annotation pipeline.
  • The proteome database comprises biological and sequence information for each completely sequenced microbial proteome, and it offers several tools for CDS searches, BLAST options and retrieval of specific sets of proteins.
  • The family database currently comprises more than 1500 manually curated protein families and their annotation templates that are used to annotate proteins that belong to one of the HAMAP families.
  • On the HAMAP website, individual sequences as well as whole genomes can be scanned against all HAMAP families.
  • The system provides warnings for the absence of conserved amino acid residues, unusual sequence length, etc.
Keywords:
  • microbial proteome
  • protein sequencing
  • proteome annotation
