10,000 species in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot
We now have 10,000 different species represented in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for which protein entries are stored in the knowledgebase. Ten times more species are stored in UniProtKB/TrEMBL. Each species present in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot is curated: the curation consists of the verification of the scientific name validity, the consistency of the lineage and the existence of a common name and/or synonym.
