Swiss-Prot: juggling between evolution and stability

Brief Bioinform. 2004 Mar;5(1):39-55. doi: 10.1093/bib/5.1.39.

Abstract

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.
