DisProt 2020_12 - first thematic release featuring a dataset of "unicellular toxins and antitoxins", revised and new entries
The DisProt curation team is proud to announce a new in-between-publication release featuring the first thematic DisProt dataset: "unicellular toxins and antitoxins", consisting of 23 new entries and 25 already existing entries that have been fully reannotated and updated. This is the first thematic release and the first fully reviewed dataset of DisProt, i.e. all the entries belonging to this dataset have been revised and validated by an independent curator to ensure a high level of reliability. All the entries included in this dataset have a tag attached - "unicellular toxins and antitoxins" - to help users easily identify them, as well as having the option to download them in a single file. We also revised previously published entries and added new entries annotated not only by our core team but also by new biocurators who joined the team after attending the first training session on DisProt curation in September 2020, along with newly added entries related to SARS-CoV-2. As a part of this effort, we have added a total of 137 new DisProt entries, 652 new pieces of evidence - 507 out of them reviewed and validated by an independent curator - that have now been made available to the community.
