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 8.0 OF TrEMBL
=====================
This TrEMBL release is created from the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence
Database release 56 and contains 224'543 sequence entries,
comprising 60'188'661 amino acids.
TrEMBL is split in two main sections; SP-TrEMBL and REM-TrEMBL:
SP-TrEMBL (SWISS-PROT TrEMBL) contains the entries (180'763),
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:
arc.dat (Archea): 7397 entries
fun.dat (Fungi): 6007 entries
hum.dat (Human): 7688 entries
inv.dat (Invertebrates): 22829 entries
mam.dat (Other Mammals): 2892 entries
mhc.dat (MHC proteins): 3985 entries
org.dat (Organelles): 14230 entries
phg.dat (Bacteriophages): 1824 entries
pln.dat (Plants): 14749 entries
pro.dat (Prokaryotes): 39777 entries
rod.dat (Rodents): 6923 entries
unc.dat (Unclassified): 44 entries
vrl.dat (Viruses): 48472 entries
vrt.dat (Other Vertebrates): 3946 entries
REM-TrEMBL (REMaining TrEMBL) contains the entries (43'780) 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/
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.
