INTRODUCTION
============
TREMBL is a protein sequence database supplementing the SWISS-PROT Protein
Sequence Data Bank. TREMBL contains the translations of all coding
sequences (CDS) present in the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database not yet
integrated in SWISS-PROT. TREMBL can be considered as a preliminary
section of SWISS-PROT. For all TREMBL entries which should finally be
upgraded to the standard SWISS-PROT quality, SWISS-PROT accession numbers
have been assigned.
RELEASE 2.0 OF TREMBL
=====================
This TREMBL release is created from the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database
release 49 and contains 116'379 sequence entries, comprising 31'293'053
amino acids.
TREMBL is split in two main sections; SP-TREMBL and REM-TREMBL:
SP-TREMBL (SWISS-PROT TREMBL) contains the entries (96'757) which should be
eventually incorporated into SWISS-PROT. SWISS-PROT accession numbers have
been assigned for all SP-TREMBL entries.
SP-TREMBL is organized in subsections:
fun.dat (Fungi): 3108 entries
hum.dat (Human): 4541 entries
inv.dat (Invertebrates): 13269 entries
mam.dat (Other Mammals): 1740 entries
mhc.dat (MHC proteins): 2307 entries
org.dat (Organelles): 6705 entries
phg.dat (Bacteriophages): 884 entries
pln.dat (Plants): 5699 entries
pro.dat (Prokaryotes): 23331 entries
rod.dat (Rodents): 4769 entries
vrl.dat (Viruses): 28150 entries
vrt.dat (Other Vertebrates): 2254 entries
REM-TREMBL (REMaining TREMBL) contains the entries (19'622) that we do
not want to include in SWISS-PROT.
WEEKLY UPDATES OF TREMBL
========================
Weekly cumulative updates of TREMBL will be available by anonymous FTP and
from the EBI SRS server from the beginning of March 1997 onwards.
ACCESS/DATA DISTRIBUTION
========================
FTP server: ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/trembl
SRS server: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/srs/srsc
TREMBL is also available on the SWISS-PROT CD-ROM.
SP-TREMBL is searchable on the FASTA server of the EBI and will be soon
searchable on the BLITZ server of the EBI.
