UniMed - From UniProt to Medecine

Alt text

A joint project with the Swiss-Prot research group The Unimed project addresses the important problem of increasing interoperability between data resources from the medical informatics and the bioinformatics domains. We propose to link UniProtKB entries to the two most widely used disease terminologies:

  • ICD-10, which is the official disease classification provided by the WHO,
  • MeSH, which is the controlled vocabulary thesaurus used for biomedical and health-related document indexing.
