The Pfam protein families database is a comprehensive collection of protein domains and families used for genome annotation and protein structure and function analysis (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/). This update describes major developments in Pfam since 2020, including decommissioning the Pfam website and integration with InterPro, harmonization with the ECOD structural classification, and expanded curation of metagenomic, microprotein and repeat-containing families. We highlight how AlphaFold structure predictions are being leveraged to refine domain boundaries and identify new domains. New families discovered through large-scale sequence similarity analysis of AlphaFold models are described. We also detail the development of Pfam-N, which uses deep learning to expand family coverage, achieving an 8.8% increase in UniProtKB coverage compared to standard Pfam. We discuss plans for more frequent Pfam releases integrated with InterPro and the potential for artificial intelligence to further assist curation. Despite recent advances, many protein families remain to be classified, and Pfam continues working toward comprehensive coverage of the protein universe.
