Status of the model organisms
We have selected a number of organisms that are the target of genome sequencing and/or
mapping projects and for which we intend to:
be as complete as possible. All sequences available at a given time should
be immediately included in Swiss-Prot. This also includes sequence
corrections and updates;
provide a higher level of annotation;
provide cross-references to specialized database(s) that contain, among
other data, some information about the genes that code for these proteins;
provide specific indexes and documents.
From our efforts to annotate human sequence entries as completely as possible
arose the HPI project, and the bacterial model organisms became
the focus of the HAMAP project. Here is the current status of the
model organisms which are not covered by these two projects:

We need your help
We welcome feedback from our users. We would especially appreciate your notifying
us if you find that sequences belonging to your field of expertise
are missing from the database. We also would like to be notified about
annotations to be updated, if, for example, the function of a protein has
been clarified or if new information about post-translational modifications
has become available. To facilitate this feedback we offer, on the ExPASy
WWW server, a form that allows the submission of updates and/or corrections
to Swiss-Prot:
It is also possible, from any entry in Swiss-Prot displayed by the ExPASy
server, to submit updates and/or corrections for that particular entry.
Finally, you can also send your comments by electronic mail to the
address:
Note that all update requests are assigned a unique
identifier of the form UR-Xnnnn (example: UR-A0123). This identifier is
used internally by the Swiss-Prot staff at SIB and EBI to track requests
and is also used in e-mail exchanges with the persons who have
submitted a request.
