Some evidence examples
1. Experimental data If a piece of information has been experimentally shown in a paper, this will be indicated with the details of the paper used (Figure 5).

2. Data copied from an experimentally characterised protein
For information which has been transferred from a related experimentally characterised protein, the accession number of the characterised protein is provided (Figure 6).

3. Imported data
If information has been imported from another database, the database name and identifier of the entry from which the information has been imported are provided (Figure 7).

4. Predicted data
Information which has been predicted by the UniProtKB automatic annotation system or by the sequence analysis programs that are used during the manual curation process are linked to their original source (Figure 8).
