Cross-references have been added to CCDS, the Consensus CDS project.
Cross-references have been added to GeneReviews, a resource of expert-authored, peer-reviewed disease descriptions.
New diseases have been added, some have been modified. View the list here.
New term for the feature key ‘Modified residue’ (‘MOD_RES’ in the flat file): L-isoglutamyl histamine
Modified term for the feature key ‘Modified residue’ (‘MOD_RES’ in the flat file): N6-crotonyl-L-lysine -> N6-crotonyllysine
New keywords have been added, some have been modified. View the list here.
The UniParc XML format uses dbReference elements to represent cross-references to external database records that contain the same sequence as the UniParc record. Additional information about an external database record is provided with different types of property child elements. We have introduced two new types, "protein_name" and "gene_name", to show the preferred protein and gene name of external database records that provide this information. In this release we have added names for cross-references to UniProtKB and RefSeq. For UniProtKB entries that have several protein or gene names, UniParc shows only the main one, which is the same name that is shown in the UniProtKB FASTA format. We will soon added names for cross-references to ENA, Ensembl, EnsemblGenomes and model organism databases (FlyBase, SGD, TAIR, WormBase).
This change did not affect the UniParc XSD, but may nevertheless require code changes.
Every folder on our FTP server now contains a file called RELEASE.metalink that specifies the size and MD5 checksum of every file. More info here.
