The Release is separated into four datasets. Sectione 1, Fully Classified Entries, contains 20,685 entries and 8,103,841 residues. Section 2, Verified and Classified Entries, contains 262,232 entries and 88,000,762 residues. Section 3, Unverified Entries, contains 24 entries and 74 residues. Section 4, Unencoded or Untranslated Entries, contains 407 tries and 67,227 residues. A total of 36,368 superfamilies are represented in sections 1 and 2. 3.0 Features in this felease ============================ Starting with Release 64.00 of the Protein Sequence Database, PIR-International is including status information in protein titles, function and complex records. These new status identifiers are as follows. [validated] = in a title or function block means that one of the references in the entry contains some experimental evidence for the protein's function. [similarity] = in a title or function block means that the name and/or function has been assigned by end to end sequence similarity with other entries that have that same name or function. [imported] = in a title means that the name was imported with the sequence from GenBank, EMBL DDBJ, or other source and has not been verified by PIR. Complete coverage of the entire database will not be obtained for several releases. The absence of a status identifier at this time should NOT be taken as an indication that the information in the title or function blocks is not correct or has not been evaluated by PIR staff.
