UniProt is a comprehensive, expert-curated, publicly available database of protein sequence, function, and variation information.In this webinar, we will give a basic introduction of programmatic access to UniProt using Python,  with examples also available in R. Following a brief introduction to UniProt services, where to find relevant documentation and help features, the webinar will focus on worked examples. These will include how to search and retrieve protein entries programmatically, how to filter for features of interest, and how to implement an advanced search using keywords. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
