Releases
The CATH team aim to provide official releases of the CATH classification every 12 months. This release
process is important because it allows for the provision of internal validation, extra annotations and
analysis. However, it can mean that there is a time delay between new structures appearing in the PDB and
the latest official CATH release,
In order to address this issue: CATH-B provides a limited amount of information to the very latest domain
annotations (e.g. domain boundaries and superfamily classifications).
The latest release of CATH-Gene3D (v4.3) was released in December 2020 and consists of:
