To utilise the increasing amount of data resulting from the ongoing genome sequencing efforts, tools for the in silico analysis of both single proteins and completed proteomes are being developed. Specialised databases about nucleic acids and proteins are important tools for the analysis, characterisation, and classification of protein sequences. Different from most proteomics tools, which are focusing on similarity searches, structure analysis, and prediction or detection of specific regions, respectively, comprehensive proteome analysis databases benefit from the information stored in different databases and make use of different protein analysis tools to provide computational analysis of whole proteomes.
