Compare the use of Entrez and UniProt to retrieve information about a protein sequence.

1 point

Entrez is likely to yield a more comprehensive search because GenBank has more data than UniProt.

The search results are likely to be identical because the underlying raw data from GenBank and ENA (EMBL) are the same.

The search results are likely to be comparable, but the UniProtKB/SwissProt record will offer a different output format with additional kinds of information.

What is the difference between RefSeq and GenBank?

1 point

RefSeq includes publicly available DNA sequences submitted from individual laboratories and sequencing projects.

GenBank provides nonredundant curated data.

GenBank sequences are derived from RefSeq.

RefSeq sequences are derived from GenBank and provide nonredundant curated data.
