Swiss-Prot: Juggling between evolution and stability
Heads the Swiss-Prot group at the SIB and is a professor at the Department of Structural Biology and Bioinformatics of the University of Geneva.
Working in the Swiss-Prot group for 16 years. She has been involved in annotation and tool development and is now coordinating automatic annotation in Swiss-Prot.
Background in biochemistry and chemistry and has worked as a Swiss-Prot head annotator for 15 years.
coordinates software development in the SIB Swiss-Prot group and is in charge the ExPASy server.

We describe some of the aspects of Swiss-Prot that make it unique, explain what are the developments we believe to be necessary for the database to continue to play its role as a focal point of protein knowledge, and provide advice pertinent to the development of high-quality knowledge resources on one aspect or the other of the life sciences.
Keywords: protein sequence, database, functional annotation, automatic annotation, sequence analysis, user feedback
