N1 - Funding Information:
The Swiss EMBnet node was created by Reinhard Dölz in 1988 at the Biozentrum in Basel and in 1997 moved to the SIB (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, http://www.isb-sib.ch) under the responsibility of Victor Jongeneel and Amos Bairoch. The Swiss EMBnet node currently employs three persons (two full-time positions) funded by a grant from the Swiss government. The services offered through the Swiss EMBnet web site are divided into several categories, e.g. sequence searches in databases, protein function prediction, dotplots, pairwise and multiple alignments, coding region prediction, and tools for the exploration of protein motifs and domains. The Swiss EMBnet node server receives >2300 daily requests for pages, from *.com (18%), *.edu (13%), *.net (7.5%), *.uk (5%), *.ch (4.5%), *.de (4%), *.org (3%), *.fr (2.5%), other (20%), unresolved (22%). User feedback has generally been very positive and the staff aim to respond to suggestions and requests for services or documents.

N2 - EMBnet is a consortium of collaborating bioinformatics groups located mainly within Europe (http://www.embnet.org). Each member country is represented by a 'node', a group responsible for the maintenance of local services for their users (e.g. education, training, software, database distribution, technical support, helpdesk). Among these services a web portal with links and access to locally developed and maintained software is essential and different for each node. Our web portal targets biomedical scientists in Switzerland and elsewhere, offering them access to a collection of important sequence analysis tools mirrored from other sites or developed locally. We describe here the Swiss EMBnet node web site (http://www.ch.embnet.org), which presents a number of original services not available anywhere else.
