Other names: International protein index (IPI), ipi
The International Protein Index (IPI) provides a top level guide to the main databases that describe the human, mouse and rat proteomes. IPI is built from the protein sequence data taken from the UniProt Knowledgebase, Ensembl and RefSeq databases, which are combined to create proteome sets for each species that combine a level degree of completeness with a low level of redundancy. Stable identifiers (with incremental versioning) allow the tracking of sequences in IPI between IPI releases, while cross-references are provided between equivalent entries in the source databases.
