GeneBio and the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics Collaborate on Web-Based Training Portal
Geneva bioinformatics (GeneBio) SA and the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) announced a strategic partnership involving GeneBio's e-Proxemis, a Web-based bioinformatics learning portal for proteomics. Under the terms of the agreement, e-Proxemis will become the centralized educational platform for the ExPASy server hosted by the SIB, thus offering to the scientific community a diverse array of tailored learning all from a single location. This alliance is the latest in a string of collaborations between GeneBio and the SIB, which also includes GeneBio's Phenyx MS data analysis platform, the Melanie gel analysis software and the SIB's proteomics databases Swiss-Prot, PROSITE and SWISS-2DPAGE.
e-Proxemis is a bioinformatics learning portal for proteomics that enables life scientists to master available resources essential for conducting proteomics research and becoming a key bioinformatics resource within their workplace. Users advance, via their own personalized workspace, through increasingly demanding scenarios and case studies with access to a number of tutorials on a variety of resource tools and databases. Scientists can test their knowledge throughout the learning process and are consequently directed towards further scenarios, case studies and resources. New coursework is added on a regular basis, ensuring a reservoir of fresh data for future learning sessions.
