permissible_values:
  experimental_evidence_at_protein_level:
    text: experimental_evidence_at_protein_level
    description: Indicates that there is clear experimental evidence for the existence
      of the protein. The criteria include partial or complete Edman sequencing, clear
      identification by mass spectrometry, X-ray or NMR structure, good quality protein-protein
      interaction or detection of the protein by antibodies.
  experimental_evidence_at_transcript_level:
    text: experimental_evidence_at_transcript_level
    description: Indicates that the existence of a protein has not been strictly proven
      but that expression data (such as existence of cDNA(s), RT-PCR or Northern blots)
      indicate the existence of a transcript.
  protein_inferred_by_homology:
    text: protein_inferred_by_homology
    description: Indicates that the existence of a protein is probable because clear
      orthologs exist in closely related species.
  protein_predicted:
    text: protein_predicted
    description: Used for entries without evidence at protein, transcript, or homology
      levels.
  protein_uncertain:
    text: protein_uncertain
    description: Indicates that the existence of the protein is unsure.
