Reorganization of UniProtKB

With the current 2026_02 release, the UniProtKB database is reorganized to include an expanded number of Reference Proteomes to better capture biodiversity. This includes the removal of proteins from taxonomically unclassified organisms, i.e., those without a binomial species name (genus and species). The total number of accessions in UniProtKB has been reduced from 253,635,358 in the “legacy” 2025_03 release to 149,810,139 in the current 2026_02 release.

We are providing the option to select either the “legacy” 2025_03 database or the current UniProtKB database (now 2026_02) when generating SSNs. You can select the database in the “Database” accordion on the pages for the EFI-EST options, the EFI-GNT tool, and the Taxonomy Tool. We suggest that you compare the SSNs, GNNs, and GNDs generated from both databases as you explore the information you are seeking.

Because the “legacy” 2025_03 release contains UniProt IDs that are no longer active on the UniProt web site, we provide the Metadata Tool that provides access to the node attribute metadata for the UniProt IDs in the “legacy” 2025_03 release.
