Abstract
AbstractThe Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) is a comprehensive resource for protein sequence and annotation data (UniProt Consortium, 2023). The UniProt website receives about 800,000 unique visitors per month and is the primary means to access UniProt. Along with various datasets that you can search, UniProt provides four main tools. These are the “BLAST” tool for sequence similarity searching, the “Align” tool for multiple sequence alignment, the “Peptide Search” tool for retrieving proteins containing a short peptide sequence, and the “Retrieve/ID Mapping” tool for using a list of identifiers to retrieve UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) proteins and to convert database identifiers from UniProt to external databases or vice versa. This article provides four basic protocols and seven alternate protocols for using UniProt tools. © 2023 The Authors.
