Overview

InterPro combines signatures from multiple, diverse databases into a single searchable resource, reducing redundancy and helping users interpret their sequence analysis results. By uniting these member databases (e.g., Pfam, CDD, SMART), InterPro capitalises on their individual strengths to produce a powerful diagnostic tool and integrated resource.
