UniProtTaxonomy Search

Search for taxonomic entries in UniProt by name, scientific name, or common name. Returns matching taxa with their IDs, names, ranks, and protein statistics. Useful for finding the correct NCBI taxonomy ID for a species or exploring taxonomic groups. Example: searching 'arabidopsis' returns Arabidopsis thaliana (3702), Arabidopsis lyrata (81972), and other Arabidopsis species with protein counts.
