Description: Various non-redundant databases with different sequence identity cut-offs created by clustering closely similar sequences to yield a representative subset of sequences. In the UniRef90 and UniRef50 databases no pair of sequences in the representative set has >90% or >50% mutual sequence identity. The UniRef100 database presents identical sequences and sub-fragments as a single entry with protein IDs, sequences, bibliography, and links to protein databases. The two major objectives of UniRef are: (i) to facilitate sequence merging in UniProt, and (ii) to allow faster and more informative sequence similarity searches. Although the UniProt Knowledgebase is much less redundant than UniParc, it still contains a certain level of redundancy because it is not possible to use fully automatic merging without risking merging of similar sequences from different proteins. However, such automatic procedures are extremely useful in compiling the UniRef databases to obtain complete coverage of sequence space while hiding redundant sequences (but not their descriptions) from view. A high level of redundancy results in several problems, including slow database searches and long lists of similar or identical alignments that can obscure novel matches in the output. Thus, a more even sampling of sequence space is advantageous. You may access NREF via the FTP server.
