Download Protein Database

The Download Protein Database allows you to download select versions of the following protein databases:

Clusters of Orthologous Genes (COG)
SwissPROT
UniProt Reference Clusters (UniRef50)

These Protein databases are used to create DIAMOND Indexes (see section Create DIAMOND Index) that are used to convert CDS annotation by the Annotate CDS with Best DIAMOND Hit tool (see section Annotate CDS with Best DIAMOND Hit).

To run the tool, go to:

Databases () | Functional Analysis | Download Protein Database ()

Choose the database you wish to download from the drop-down menu, and when needed, accept the terms of use before clicking Finish to save the database in the Navigation Area. The output of this tool is a new sequence list that can be used as input to the Annotate CDS with Best DIAMOND Hit tool.
