What is a non-redundant sequence?

UniParc. UniParc is ‘non-redundant’ in the sense that all identical protein sequences are stored in a single record regardless of the species. Each record is characterized by a unique identifier, UPI. For example, identical ubiquitin sequences from various organisms can be found in UniParc record UPI00000006C4.

What is a redundant sequence?

In bioinformatics, redundancy in a collection of sequences occurs when one or more similar/homologous sequences are present in the same set of data. The inclusion of similar sequences in certain analyses will introduce undesirable biases.

What does multispecies mean in blast?

Navigation from non-redundant proteins to genomic locations and other resources: Non-redundant protein records do not contain markup of their individual genomic locations or locus_tags. They may also be identified as MULTISPECIES (for example WP_004299620. 1), meaning the protein is found in more than one species.

What is the nr database?

The nr database is compiled by the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) as a protein database for Blast searches. It contains non-identical sequences from GenBank CDS translations, PDB, Swiss-Prot, PIR, and PRF. The strengths of nr are that it is comprehensive and frequently updated.

What is the definition of a non redundant collection?

The collection is non-redundant in the sense that the goal is to represent distinct biological molecules that are observed for an organism, strain or haplotype.

What does non redundant mean in protein database?

Non-redundant: manual curation used to provide only one entry per protein product; variants are annotated in entry. Highly-cross-referenced to other databases.

What is the definition of terrorism in NCTC?

“NCTC uses the definition of terrorism found in Title 22, which provides that terrorism is “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents.” 4

What was the definition of terrorism in 2002?

Committee on Intelligence (2002): “Terrorism is the illegitimate, premeditated violence or threat of violence by subnational groups against persons of property with the intent to coerce a government by installing fear amongst the
