🧬 US genomics expert Paul Thomas joins SIB as Swiss-Prot co-director, with @alanbridge.bsky.social 🔍 Leader in gene function research; among the world’s most-cited scientists 📊 His arrival strengthens SIB’s role in generating trustworthy, AI-ready biological knowledge #UniProt #GeneOntology More 👇

SIB Executive Director @dessimoz.bsky.social‬ highlights Switzerland’s opportunity to invest in science where others are retreating, arguing for: 🇨🇭strengthened ERI funding & international collaboration; 🚀 funding for data infrastructure as a driver of innovation. See more👇

We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.

Thrilled to announce that the protein–protein interactions of 396 SLC transporters, characterized by interaction proteomics from the RESOLUTE project, is now integrated into IntAct! Congratulations to #‪Superti-FurgaLab, #FabianFrommelt Explore the interactome at www.ebi.ac.uk/intact/searc...

82% of human protein-coding genes now have robust, consistent functional annotations, thanks to the combined efforts of biocurators across the GO consortium, Model Organism Databases, SwissProt/UniProtKB, all based on explicit evolutionary modeling via PANTHER families!

The PAN-GO paper is a remarkable milestone. It not only provides the most comprehensive picture of human gene function to date, but also carefully maps this knowledge across the tree of life! Congratulations @marcfeuermann.bsky.social, Pascale Gaudet & collaborators! www.sib.swiss/news/sib-hel...

🧬 Known functions are available for over 20,000, or 82%, of human protein-coding genes in the new PAN-GO resource – thanks to evolutionary modelling co-developed by SIB scientists @marcfeuermann.bsky.social and Pascale Gaudet & published in ‪@nature.com‬. See more👇 #OpenData #LifeSciences
