This is a placeholder for text describing the Pfam proteomes section.

The graphic that is shown by default represents a sequence containing that particular domain organisation or architecture. The images are order by the frequency that the architecture is observed. Each row contains the following information:

• the number of sequences which exhibit this architecture
• a textual description of the architecture, e.g. Gla, EGF x 2, Trypsin. This example describes an architecture with one Gla domain, followed by two consecutive EGF domains, and finally a single Trypsin domain
• a link to the page in the Pfam site showing information about the sequence that the graphic describes
• the UniProt description of the protein sequence
• the number of residues in the sequence
• the Pfam graphic itself.

Note that you can see the family page for a particular domain by clicking on the graphic. You can also choose to see all sequences which have a given architecture by clicking on the Show link in each row.

Finally, because some families can be found in a very large number of architectures, we load only the first fifty architectures by default. If you want to see more architectures, click the button at the bottom of the page to load the next set.

Each row of the table shows a Pfam domain that was found on one or more of the sequences from this proteome. The two data columns show:

number of sequences

the number of distinct protein sequences from this proteome that are found to have the given Pfam domain present

occurrences

the number of times that the Pfam domain occurs throughout this proteome

Finally, the 'View graphics' and 'View alignment' columns allow you to view the sequences for a given domain either as a set of Pfam graphics, one per sequence, or as a sequence alignment. The domain graphics and sequence alignment are shown in a separate browser window.
