Species disambiguation in text mining is harder than one might think. A project that looks useful in this regard is Uniprot's younger sibling PRO (http://pir.georgetown.edu/pro/), which is being compiled at the Protein Information Resource at Georgetown and provides a species-independent backoff for when you don't know where your smad or rigor mortis came from.
