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 5.0 OF TREMBL
=====================
This TREMBL release is created from the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence
Database release 53 and contains 166'361 sequence entries, comprising
45'671'684 amino acids.
TREMBL is split in two main sections; SP-TREMBL and REM-TREMBL:
SP-TREMBL (SWISS-PROT TREMBL) contains the entries (140'555) 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): 4694 entries
hum.dat (Human): 6101 entries
inv.dat (Invertebrates): 18423 entries
mam.dat (Other Mammals): 2444 entries
mhc.dat (MHC proteins): 3336 entries
org.dat (Organelles): 10561 entries
phg.dat (Bacteriophages): 1111 entries
pln.dat (Plants): 9871 entries
pro.dat (Prokaryotes): 34832 entries
rod.dat (Rodents): 5976 entries
unc.dat (Unclassified): 109 entries
vrl.dat (Viruses): 39943 entries
vrt.dat (Other Vertebrates): 3154 entries
REM-TREMBL (REMaining TREMBL) contains the entries (25'806) that we do
not want to include in SWISS-PROT.
WEEKLY UPDATES OF TREMBL AND NON-REDUNDANT DATA SETS
====================================================
Weekly cumulative updates of TREMBL are available by anonymous FTP and
from the EBI SRS server.
We also produce every week a complete non-redundant protein sequence
collection by providing three compressed files (these are in the
directory
/pub/databases/sp_tr_nrdb on the EBI FTP server):
sprot.dat.Z, trembl.dat.Z and trembl_new.dat.Z.
ACCESS/DATA DISTRIBUTION
========================
FTP server: ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/trembl
SRS server: http://srs.ebi.ac.uk:5000/
TREMBL is also available on the SWISS-PROT CD-ROM.
SWISS-PROT + TREMBL is searchable on the FASTA3, BLAST2 and Bic_sw
servers of the EBI.
