SWISS-2DPAGE, ten years later.
The SWISS-2DPAGE database was established in 1993 and is maintained collaboratively by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) and the Biomedical Proteomics Research Group (BPRG) of the Geneva University Hospital. During these years, SWISS-2DPAGE underwent constant modification and improvement. Current content includes about 4000 identified spots corresponding to 1200 different protein entries in 36 reference maps from human, mouse, Arabidopsis thaliana, Dictyostelium discoideum, Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Staphylococcus aureus origins. With a high level of annotation and integration with other relevant databases, SWISS-2DPAGE is a reference source in the proteomics world. Queries to SWISS-2DPAGE database currently reach 1000 hits per day.
