Why is it that not all the ProDom entities are present in InterPro?
ProDom is a very special case among InterPro member databases: it is the only database which is based on an automatic method while the others are manually curated. Thus, we decided to include in InterPro only ProDom families that have been manually inspected by a curator. This process is slow, so that explain the low number of ProDom families in InterPro at the moment. To cope with this at the moment, we decided to distribute the entire ProDom database in the InterProScan package very soon. All the integrated entries into InterPro will be mapped to their InterPro entries, and all the non integrated ProDom entries will not. This should allow the users to see at a glance which matches are due to manually curated ProDom entries and which are not. Please note that non-curated ProDom entries are not necessarily bad. They have just not been inspected by a curator yet.
