REFRACT is an international consortium aiming to extend our knowledge on the mechanism of tandem repeat proteins (TRPs) function and evolution, establishing a common classification and best practices. Starting from available state of the art computational tools and databases, it seeks to drive a new level of TRP characterization leveraging the complementary expertise of 7 European and 9 Latin American institutions. The project implementation will take advantage of the diverse expertise available, supporting them by a combination of research-centered, training and dissemination activities. The broadest possible dissemination of the results will be achieved through dedicated activities, the propagation of results into ELIXIR core data resources (InterPro, and consequently UniProt) as well as possible industrial exploitation.
