Abstract
SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide a high level of annotation (such as the description of the function of a pr otein, its domain structure, post-translational modifications, variants, et c.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with other databases. Recent developments of the database include: cross-references t o additional databases; a variety of new documentation files and improvemen ts to TrEMBL, a computer annotated supplement to SWISS-PROT. TrEMBL consist s of entries in SWISS-PROT-like format derived from the translation of all coding sequences (CDS) in the EMBL nucleotide sequence database, except the CDS already included in SWISS-PROT. The URLs for SWISS-PROT on the WWW are : http://www. expasy.ch/sprot and http://www.ebi.ac.uk/sprot.
