PRoteomics IDEntifications Database (PRIDE) goes live

PRIDE - Home page

From the European Bioinformatics Institute and Ghent University in Belgium comes PRIDE, an open access database of proteomics information. From the PRIDE website:

"The PRIDE PRoteomics IDEntifications database is a centralized, standards compliant, public data repository for proteomics data. It has been developed to provide the proteomics community with a public repository for protein and peptide identifications together with the evidence supporting these identifications."

PRIDE can be searched many ways, including by tissue, disease, sub-cellular component, species/taxonomy, or protein accession number.
