Detailed explanation-1: -SWISS-PROT (1) is an annotated protein sequence database, which was created at the Department of Medical Biochemistry of the University of Geneva and has been a collaborative effort of the Department and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), since 1987.

Detailed explanation-2: -SWISS-PROT is a protein sequence database containing detailed annotations. It was established in 1986 and jointly maintained by the department of medical biochemistry of the University of Geneva and the EMBL data library (now EBI) since 1987.

Detailed explanation-3: -SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide a high level of annotations (such as the description of the function of a protein, structure of its domains, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with other databases.

Detailed explanation-4: -SWISS PROT is a protein sequence database. Annotations in the database provide all the information regarding the structure and function of a particular protein along with its functions and modifications if any. The data is all primary and easily accessible.

Detailed explanation-5: -Margaret O. Dayhoff created the first public comprehensive, computerised and publicly available database of protein sequences, The Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure (1965). The Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure was the model for GenBank and many other molecular databases.
