How are non redundant proteins inherited from the genome?

How are non redundant proteins inherited from the genome?

Any annotation of protein function on the genome record, such as the protein name, will be inherited from the independently-maintained non-redundant protein record. Non-redundant protein records always represent one exact sequence that has been observed once or many times in different strains or species.

Which is the best definition of gene redundancy?

Gene redundancy. Jump to navigation Jump to search. Gene redundancy is the existence of multiple genes in the genome of an organism that perform the same function. This is the case for many sets of paralogous genes.

Is the NCBI Reference Sequence database redundant or non redundant?

NCBI Reference Sequence (RefSeq): a curated non-redundant sequence database of genomes, transcripts and proteins The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Reference Sequence (RefSeq) database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/RefSeq/) provides a non-redundant collection of sequences representing genomic data, transcripts and proteins.

What does non redundant protein mean in RefSeq?

A non-redundant protein record that provides organism information at the level of a genus, family, or even super-kingdom does not mean that the protein is found in all RefSeq genomes below that taxonomic classification.

When to use a single source feature for a non redundant protein?

A single source feature is provided when the non-redundant protein is found on genomes within a single super-kingdom (e.g., WP_003547430.1 or WP_000091939.1) The organism and NCBI tax_id indicated reflect the lowest common level, for the set of genomes that the protein is annotated on.

When does NCBI annotate a non redundant protein?

When the NCBI genome annotation pipeline annotates a bacterial protein that is 100% identical and the same length as an existing non-redundant protein, NCBI will annotate that protein on the genome by referencing the WP_ accession in the annotated CDS feature.
