Ron Appel and the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics Honoured with the Bioalps Award 2014 Press release Lausanne, 9 October 2014 Ron Appel and the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics honoured with the BioAlps Award 2014 Professor Ron Appel, co-founder and Executive Director of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, was honoured with the BioAlps Award 2014 to recognize his major contribution to the creation and successful development of the SIB. By providing the necessary bioinformatics infrastructure for medical and life science research, the institute is instrumental to good science in Switzerland. Moreover, through its leading position on the European and worldwide bioinformatics scene, the SIB contributes to Switzerland’s international reputation in terms of expertise and know-how. The Award was presented by Dr Benoît Dubuis, President of BioAlps, during the traditional BioAlps Networking Day in Neuchâtel in presence of many actors of the life science field. The BioAlps Award intends to honour a personality without whom western Switzerland would not enjoy its extraordinary international reputation in the field of life sciences. As Co-founder and Executive Director of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Professor Appel allowed Swiss bioinformatics to rank among the world leaders of this discipline. Ron Appel is a pioneer of bioinformatics and the SIB, which he has been leading since 2007, is providing an indispensable support to the research community, notably through the more than 150 bioinformatics resources accessible from its portal ExPASy. Besides Swiss-Prot, the worldwide reference in the field of proteins, SIB also offers other resources such as modelling and docking tools for drug design. SIB also provides a wide range of bioinformatics expertise and services such as statistical support to enable researchers carry out their projects and analyse the data they produce. The BioAlps Award symbolises interdisciplinary and collaboration which are so essential for life science research and which SIB embodies through its missions and activities. By coordinating bioinformatics activities in Switzerland, SIB gathers more than 50 research and service groups and above 650 scientists. This explains why the institute can provide such a wide range of expertise to life science researchers and why more and more research groups in the academy and the industry are seeking SIB’s collaboration. Most recent examples include the collaboration with Genesupport for the development of the first Swiss non-invasive prenatal test that allows detection of chromosome aberrations. Benoît Dubuis stated to be delighted to present this award to Ron Appel and the SIB because “Ron Appel is leading one of the rare life science organisations which are able to play the role of unifier with so much elegance”. The challenges our society is facing – health, food and energy production, sustainability and environmental protection – cannot be resolved without bioinformatics expertise and without the SIB. Ron Appel said to be “Proud to receive this Award which honours SIB’s expertise and the contribution of Swiss bioinformaticians to the progress of life science. The SIB can be proud, as it is a model of inter-cantonal and inter-institutional collaboration. A model which has proven its efficiency and which is used today for the construction of ELIXIR, the European life science infrastructure for biological information”.

When we talk about gene or protein sequences, we are in the realm of mono-dimensional bioinformatics, as both proteins and genes are chains of small molecules. When considering protein or DNA structures, or the nano-crystals that enable the amazing colour-changing of chameleons, we add a further two dimensions of complexity. And now, we are confronted with yet other dimensions and questions like “Can we predict how well a potential drug binds to its target structure?” or “Can we predict the effect of mutations on a protein’s structure?”. In this SIB Newsletter, you will discover bioinformatics going well beyond 3D. When visualizing a heart beating or a tumour growing, time adds a fourth dimension. By adding biological functions to these images, measuring an organ’s sugar consumption or temperature for instance, we slip into a fifth dimension. Advanced bioinformatics tools enable the high-throughput extraction of over 400 quantitative features from medical images such as CT or PET scans, providing a comprehensive description of these five dimensions of, for example, a tumour. As bioinformatics is all about converting big data into smart data or knowledge, it is obvious that the data streams produced by multidimensional bioinformatics are highly challenging. Multidimensional bioinformatics offers however amazing opportunities: from predicting the therapeutic effects of a molecule, as well as its potential side effects, to the assessment of the molecular and cellular characteristics of tumour biopsies.

    Briefings in Bioinformatics, 20(2), 2019, 361–369 doi: 10.1093/bib/bbx073 Advance Access Publication Date: 4 July 2017 Paper Bioinformatics on a national scale: an example from Switzerland Vivienne Baillie Gerritsen, Patricia M. Palagi and Christine Durinx Corresponding author: Christine Durinx, SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Quartier Sorge, Batiment^ Ge´nopode, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland. Tel.: þ41 21 692 40 46; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Switzerland has been a pioneer in the field of bioinformatics since the early 1980s. As time passed, the need for one entity to gather and represent bioinformatics on a national scale was felt and, in 1998, the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics was created. Hence, 2018 marks the Institute’s 20th anniversary. Today, the Institute federates 65 research and service groups across the country—whose activity domains range from genomics, proteomics, medicine and health to structural biology, systems biology, phylogeny and evolution—and a group whose sole task is dedicated to training. The Institute hosts 12 competence centres that provide bioinformatics and biocuration expertise to life scientists across the country. SIB sensed early on that the wealth of data produced by modern technologies in medicine and the growing self-awareness of patients was about to revolutionize the way medical data are considered. In 2012, it created a Clinical Bioinformatics group to ad- dress the issue of personalized health, thus working towards a more global approach to patient management, and more tar- geted and effective therapies. In this respect, SIB has a major role in the Swiss Personalized Health Network to make patient-related data available to research throughout the country.

    Annual Report 2009 Pioneers at the heart of science SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics Annual Report 2009009 Annual Report 2009 Pioneers at the heart of science SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics Executive Director Ron Appel Life scientists need bioinformaticians to develop first- class methods and software to store, process and analyse the large amounts of experimental data they collect through their research work. In the light of the growing complexity and volume of collected data, and of the consequent evolution of bioinformatics, the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics developed its Roadmap for the 2nd decade, which defines the vision and the mission of SIB and addresses strategic goals set for the coming years. Our vision is that SIB helps shaping the future of life sciences through excellence in bioinformatics. It encompasses service and infrastructure, as well as research and education and falls within two distinct but closely connected tasks implemented through the SIB Mission. Our first mission is to provide world-class core bioinformatics resources to the national and international life science research community in key fields such as genomics, proteomics and systems biology. The objectives are set by the SIB Board of Directors and their implementation plan is agreed with all the concerned groups. Federal funds are almost exclusively used for the activities linked to this mission. Our second mission is to lead and coordinate the field of bioinformatics in Switzerland. In this regard, SIB plays a federating role, linking the Swiss bioinformatics community and promoting as well as coordinating research and education. This part of our activity is funded by schools of higher education in addition to research grants.

The latest version of this document is available on http://www.expasy.org/doc/expasy.pdf Introduction ExPASy [1,2] (the Expert Protein Analysis System) is a World Wide Web server (http://www.expasy.org) which is provided as a service to the Life Sciences community. Its main focus is on proteins. It provides access to a variety of databases and analytical tools dedicated to what is now known as proteomics. It is developed at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) (http://www.isb-sib.ch) by a multidisciplinary team. It first started to operate in August 1993 and has been running without interruption since that date. It seems to have been the first WWW server to be established in the field of life sciences. In December 2002 it had been accessed 242 million times by a total of more than 3 million computer hosts from 185 countries. We describe here what are the information resources and tools available on ExPASy. Databases ExPASy is the main host for the following databases that are partially or completely developed in Geneva: • The Swiss-Prot knowledgebase [3,4] (http://www.expasy.org/sprot/); a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide high quality annotations (such as the description of the function of a protein, its domains structure, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and a high level of integration with other databases.
