<div>Hi all,</div>
<div>I have a script where I query the UniProt website for particular protein entries, following BioPython and UniProt’s own python access notes. However, as a way to be polite, I wait a few seconds between queries, but this makes my script fairly slow. I would
like to keep the database locally, but the only downloads I can find for the UniProtKB are as two huge xml files for Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL. I am unclear how to parse these compared to the individual protein xml files on the website, which are easily parsable
by BioPython. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone have guidance on parsing and running the UniProtKB locally?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance!</div>
