What Does 'Fragment' Mean In Uniprot Database?
1 answer
In UniProtKB the "sequence status" will set to 'fragment' is the protein sequence associated with the entry is considered to be incomplete. There are many causes of this by the most typical are: only a fragment of the protein has been sequenced, or the CDS from which the UniProtKB entry is derived is annotated as incomplete (has missing exons, or is not completely contained within the INSDC entry).
Where UniProt have identified sequencing errors, this will be recorded in the "Sequence caution" annotation.
