[ensembl-dev] Uniprot IDs

Hi Peter,

There is a pipeline used to link external references, like Uniprot and
Refseq, to the ensembl objects (gene, transcript, translation).
For this link to be generated, the identity between the source and the
ensembl object should be close enough to 100%.
For the example you are looking at, the Trembl protein is a fragment of
only 99 amino acids, which would therefore not match closely enough the
full length protein in ensembl.

In a more general perspective, we do distinguish Trembl entries from
Uniprot/Swissprot entries, as the former are not reviewed. It is
therefore less likely to find a matching mapping for Trembl entries.


Hope that helps,
Magali

I have had a look at biomart on the main Ensembl website but there does not seem to exist complete mapping information. For instance

Roughly speaking less than half of the entries seem to have mappings, but at least most of the proteins are represented in Uniprot.
