Curation of DNA Sequences

PlutoF offers a third-party curation service to improve the quality of public DNA sequences and their source metadata (e.g., on material source, geolocation and habitat, taxonomic identifications, interacting taxa, literature, etc.) In collaboration with EMBL-EBI, improved or corrected annotations on INSD sequences in PlutoF are fed back to primary repositories through operating the ELIXIR Contextual Data ClearingHouse. Searching and browsing of third-party annotations introduced by the UNITE Community can be done via RESTful API or using search interfaces of PlutoF and UNITE.
