Environmental microbiology folks - let's discuss! I worry about repercussions of this massive removal. We use UniProt tools to look for gene neighborhoods even on small contigs in low quality MAGs and metagenomes in UniProt. This would take that function away?
UniProt is changing its reference proteomes resource.
Reference proteomes will remain in UniProtKB, while others will move to UniParc.

Is there another way to BLAST the entire NCBI-nr database using a server other than NCBI?
I tried ENA browser SSS & it’s taking hours for a single protein.
Broader question: are there contingency plans being made by international bioinformatics community in case NCBI is no longer supported?
