BIOINFORMATICS RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE LIFE SCIENCES: THE FIRST 10 YEARS OF UNIPROT

Saturday 8. September 2012, Basel, Switzerland

This symposium celebrates the 10th birthday of UniProt in 2012. In 2002, forty years after the first comprehensive collection of protein sequences, the “Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure”, was published, the SWISS-PROT and TrEMBL protein sequence databases at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, and the Protein Information Resource (PIR) in Washington, joined forces to create UniProt.

UniProt is used widely by scientists from a variety of life science fields in academia and industry. In this symposium, renowned speakers will give insight into their work and highlight how protein databases are underpinning life sciences. The symposium aims at anyone with an interest in proteins and their functions, including proteomics researchers, data curators, and bioinformaticians.
