The European Life Science Infrastructure for Biological Information (ELIXIR) integrates research data from all corners of Europe and ensures a seamless service provision that is easily accessible to all. This open access to the rapidly expanding and critical datasets will facilitate discoveries that benefit humankind.
SIB is the Swiss Node of ELIXIR. In many regards, SIB represents a key asset in the establishment of this pan-European bioinformatics infrastructure, be it through access to its world renowned and widely used core resources, its long expertise in most bioinformatics areas or its experience in bioinformatics teaching activities.

The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Europe's flagship laboratory for the life sciences. EBI provides freely available molecular biology data and databases , which include UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, a collaboration among SIB, EBI and the Protein Information Resource PIR. EBI is a non-profit, intergovernmental organization funded by EMBL member states. Its 500 staff members represent 43 nationalities, and it welcomes a regular stream of visiting scientists throughout the year.
