Cover. Up until the end of 2003, the three major protein sequence databases, Swiss-Prot, PIR and TrEMBL, had been run in an independent fashion from each other. The cover represents the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB), the Protein Information Resource at Georgetown University Medical Centre (PIR) and The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) working as a single force to produce UniProt: a single, comprehensive and stable resource for information on protein sequences and their function. Credits for the cover image: Gulam Patel, Web developer and Graphics Designer at the European Bioinformatics Institute.
