Clean_Uniprot

What is the 'Clean_Uniprot' database?

'Clean_Uniprot' is a modified version of the UniProt database aimed to screen the more reliable sequences based on two criteria:

1. If the "Decription" (DE) field contain "Disease", "RIKEN", "variant", "mutation", "mutant" or "whole genome shotgun sequence" the sequence is removed;
2. If the database is "TrEMBL" and the "Comments" (CC) lines contain the word "CAUTION" the sequence is removed.
