The SWISS-PROT protein sequence database: its relevance to human molecular medical research.

摘要: Molecular databases are the main source of information for computational biology, but they also contain data that extemely valuable molecular medicine. Swiss-Prot, un-doubtedly best-annotated protein sequence database, is a prime example. It can be accessed at hundreds sites via world-wide web and measure its popularity server Geneva site alone more than 50,000 times daily. In following article, Amos Bairoch, Director Swiss-Prot in Geneva, Rolf Appweiler, Head Swis-Prot group European Bioinformatics Institute, describe features database particular interest to practioners
