UniProt-Or-Mapping

An object relational mapping of UniProtKB to a database and/or Java objects using Hibernate.

Auto-generate Java code and (optionally) to a relational database to manage UniProt data.

This projects uses the UniProt XML schema to auto-generate Java code as well as a relational database mapping.

How to parse a UniProt XML file into a Java data structure:

            URL u = UniProtTools.getURLforXML(accession);
            InputStream inStream = u.openStream();
            Uniprot up = UniProtTools.readUniProtFromInputStream(inStream);

Get Started

1. Check out the code
2. After running mvn install you can immediately parse UniProt XML files.

Load into a database

Once the initial code/database have been created any UniProt-XML file can get parsed and loaded into a database (however the code also works without a database by just reading UniProt XML files).

See here for how to load into a database.

Isoform mapping to alternative transcripts

This project can map UniProt isoforms to alternative transcripts using BioJava. For an example see isoforms.md

Use Case

A database that is maintained using this code base is used for the UniProt section of the RCSB PDB Protein Feature View that is available from e.g. here.
