UniParc Search

Overview

Search UniProt UniParc sequence archive by gene name, organism, or database membership. Finds all unique protein sequences matching the query, returning UPI identifiers, UniProt accessions, organisms, gene names, and creation dates. Useful for finding all sequence variants of a gene across species, or identifying sequences present in specific databases (PDB, RefSeq, Ensembl). Supports Lucene query syntax: 'gene:TP53 AND organism_id:9606' for human TP53 sequences, 'database:PDB AND gene:BRCA1' for BRCA1 sequences with PDB structures. Example: gene:TP53 AND organism_id:9606 returns multiple UniParc entries including the canonical p53 and splice variants.
