Harmonized Description List
In 2021, the Peer Review Panel reviewed the description lines of all COMPARE entries to clean-up irrelevant wording from automated text imported from the source databases in order to generate meaningful description lines to the eyes of allergy experts.
COMPARE PRP Statements
In response to questions about the validity of the inclusion of a GFP-like protein from Scleronephthya gracillima in COMPARE’ 2018 (accession # BAW32535.1), the peer-review panel (PRP) of the database has re-reviewed the entry and has decided to remove the sequence (accession # BAW32535.1) from the 2019 database. This document provides the detailed justification for this removal, as stated by PRP members.
