No, seriously, we’ve made a release

Well, it should have been out about 6 months ago, but finally the long awaited Pfam release 25.0 is here! Release 25.0 contains a total of 12273 families, with 384 new families and 21 families killed since the latest release.  Pfam 25.0 is based on UniProt release 2010_05. Those of you who follow Pfam closely will be familiar with the fact the sequence coverage (the number of sequences in Pfamseq containing at least one Pfam match) has hovered at or just below 75%.  Despite the addition of only a modest number of new families in this release, the sequence coverage is now 76.69% of all proteins in Pfamseq contain a match to at least one Pfam domain.  53.86% of all residues in the sequence database fall within Pfam domains.
