This is the first part of a webinar series on InterPro which is held between 6 May - 20 May 2020.

InterPro is a database that helps users to understand the possible functions of proteins sequence by identifying what family it belongs to or what domains and motifs it contains. InterPro provides the world’s most comprehensive predictions by combining predictions from 13 member databases. This webinar defines the basic InterPro notions, concepts of protein classification and describes how InterPro ensures the accuracy of its data. This webinar also explains the different methodologies used by the InterPro member databases in their predictions and how we integrate them into the 5 different InterPro entry types: Homologous superfamily, family, domain, repeat and site. Finally, it presents some examples of different external resources using the InterPro database as an underlying resource.
