Introduction
PIR produces the Protein Sequence Database (PSD) of functionally annotated protein sequences, which grew out of the Atlas of Protein Sequence & Structure (1965-1978) edited by Margaret Dayhoff & has been incorporated into an integrated knowledge base system of value-added databases & analytical tools.
PIR has joined forces with EBI (European Bioinformatics Institute) & SIB (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) to establish the UniProt (United Protein Databases), the central resource of protein sequence & function.
