neXtProt

Full description

Developed in collaboration between the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and Geneva Bioinformatics (GeneBio) SA, neXtProt is being developed to be a comprehensive human-centric discovery platform, offering its users a seamless integration of and navigation through protein-related data. It is based on the first complete manual annotation work by the UniProt/SwissProt group of what is believed to be the full set of human proteins.

Notes

neXtProt is:

• Adding more information to the corpus of data on human proteins that is already in Swiss-Prot. In addition, data originating from a variety of high-throughput approaches (such as micro-array, antibodies screens, proteomics, interactomics, structural genomics) are being added to neXtProt. All of these data sets are carefully selected so as to only provide high-quality data. This will include: High-quality proteomics experimental data, siRNA experimental data,  3D experimental data, Pathway data, Population-related variant information and Protein-protein and protein-drug interaction data.

• Organizing the data in such a way that it is possible to seamlessly build powerful queries in the most user-friendly way possible.
   
• Developing software tools ranging from sequence analysis to text and data mining to be integrated in various research environments. These tools will meet the specific needs of both academic and industrial users.
