What is a UniProt ID?

The proteome identifier (UPID) is the unique identifier assigned to the set of proteins that constitute the proteome. It consists of the characters ‘UP’ followed by 9 digits, is stable across releases and can therefore be used to cite a UniProt proteome.

What is UniProt number?

These are stable identifiers and should be used to cite UniProtKB entries. Upon integration into UniProtKB, each entry is assigned a unique accession number, which is called ‘Primary (citable) accession number’. UniProtKB accession numbers consist of 6 or 10 alphanumerical characters in the format: 1.

How do I find my UniProt ID?

Select the Retrieve/ID mapping tab of the toolbar and enter or upload a list of identifiers (or gene names) to do one of the following: Retrieve the corresponding UniProt entries to download them or work with them on this website.

How do I get my UniProt ID from NCBI?

Go the UniProt home page at http://www.uniprot.org/.

1. Click on the ‘Retrieve/ID Mapping’ link, which is available in the header bar on all UniProt pages as shown in Figure 1.
2. You will see the ‘Retrieve/ID Mapping’ input page as shown in Figure 12.

Why is UniProt used?

The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) is a comprehensive resource for protein sequence and annotation data. EMBL-EBI and SIB together used to produce Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL, while PIR produced the Protein Sequence Database (PIR-PSD).

What is FDA accession number?

An accession number is a unique identifier that FDA uses to track reports from specific models of radiation-emitting electronic devices (RED). FDA requires manufacturers of certain RED products to have an accession number for their product prior to marketing it in the United States.

How do you find the Entrez Gene ID?

The information in Entrez Gene can be accessed in multiple ways at NCBI (Table 2). The most direct is to submit a query to Entrez from the NCBI home page and display the results in Gene, or enter a query in any Entrez query bar and restrict the database search to Gene.

What is an accession ID?

Accession ID. MGI Glossary. Definition. A unique alphanumeric character string that is used to unambiguously identify a particular record in a database.

Is UniProt part of NCBI?

Recently, a collaboration between UniProt and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) teams was established to provide bi-directional cross-references between Entrez Gene/RefSeq and UniProtKB and this was achieved in our databases in September 2007.

What is gene ID?

Gene ID is a stable ID for that particular locus in that organism. (remains the same even if info about the locus changes such as gene symbol, genomic position, etc.) Official gene symbol and which organization provided it. Aliases/alternative symbols by which the gene might have been know in earlier times.

How to convert gene symbols to UniProtKB identifiers?

You can upload your list of UniProtKB identifiers (AC or ID) to the batch retrieval service (“Retrieve/ID mapping”). Then click on the link “UniProtKB (xx)” (“xx” being the number of entries in your result) and then on “Columns” to hide all columns except gene names.

Can a list of UniProt identifiers be retrieved?

The list of identifiers that could not be mapped can be retrieved for further inspection or analysis. When mapping popular sequence database identifiers such as RefSeq, gi numbers, EMBL, EMBLCDS to UniProtKB, unmapped identifiers can be further mapped to UniParc. This can be particularly useful for proteins from redundant proteomes.

How does UniProt do Geneid and RefSeq mappings?

How does UniProt do GeneID and RefSeq mappings? As per a protocol we have formalized with the NCBI, we create a RefSeq protein-centric mapping. If a UniProtKB protein (canonical or isoform sequence) then that RefSeq accession is mapped to the UniProtKB protein and consequently the entry will also get the corresponding GeneID cross-reference.

Do you need to download UniProtKB identifiers for go?

If you prefer to run your mapping locally, you can also download the data underlying this service. For performance reasons, databases where the mapping relationship to UniProtKB identifiers is one-to-many, e.g. GO, InterPro or PubMed, are not supported.
