We are excited to announce the latest release of DisProt, featuring new curated annotations,
continuous improvements to our curation workflow, and a new thematic dataset on stress-related
proteins, highlighting the role of intrinsic disorder in cellular stress responses.

Learn more about the new dataset and explore the disorder states and functions of these proteins

Celebrating the contributors behind this release

We would especially like to acknowledge Ximena Castro for her outstanding contribution to the
thematic dataset, together with Rita Pancsa, Erzsébet Fichó, Jaime Santos Suárez, Bernadett
Juhász, and Gabriel Alejandro Rivas.
We are also grateful to our technical team, Adel Bourahoua and Amirali Motaghedy, for their continuous efforts in improving DisProt and developing new features that enhance the experience of both our users and curators

New community resources

This release also marks the launch of two new resources designed to support and engage the DisProt community:

• The official DisProt YouTube channel, where you can find tutorials, training videos, and
  educational content about DisProt, intrinsically disordered proteins, and biocuration. Subscribe to
  stay up to date with future content!
• The DisProt Zenodo Community, a central hub for training materials, presentations, posters,
  protocols, and other DisProt-related resources. If you would like to become a member and
  contribute your work, contact us at info@disprot.org.
  

We look forward to growing these initiatives together with our community and continuing to advance the study of intrinsically disordered proteins through open, collaborative science.

The DisProt team
