Abstract: "The SWISS-PROT protein
knowledgebase (http://www.expasy.org/sprot
and http://www.ebi.ac.uk/swissprot)
connects amino acid sequences with the current knowledge in the Life Sciences.
Each protein entry provides an interdisciplinary overview of relevant
information by bringing together experimental results, computed features and
sometimes even contradictory conclusions. Detailed expertise that goes beyond
the scope of SWISS-PROT is made available via direct links to specialised
databases. SWISS-PROT provides annotated entries for all species, but
concentrates on the annotation of entries from human (the HPI project) and
other model organisms to ensure the presence of high quality annotation for
representative members of all protein families. Part of the annotation can be
transferred to other family members, as is already done for microbes by the
High-quality Automated and Manual Annotation of microbial Proteomes (HAMAP)
project. Protein families and groups of proteins are regularly reviewed to
keep up with current scientific findings. Complementarily, TrEMBL strives to
comprise all protein sequences that are not yet represented in SWISS-PROT, by
incorporating a perpetually increasing level of mostly automated annotation.
Researchers are welcome to contribute their knowledge to the scientific
community by submitting relevant findings to SWISS-PROT at swiss-prot@expasy.org."

Papers Database (Included with a subscription to the ISI print newsletter Science
Watch®, available from the ISI
Research Services Group. Packaged on a CD-ROM that is mailed with each Science
Watch issue, the Hot
Papers Database contains data on hundreds of highly cited papers published
during the last two years. User interface permits searching by author,
organization, journal, field, and more. Total citations, as well as citations
accrued during successive bimonthly periods, can be assessed and graphed. An
updated CD containing the most recent bimonthly data is mailed with every new
