History
Originally, ExPASy was called ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System) and acted as a proteomics server to analyze protein sequences and structures and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-D Page electrophoresis). Among others, ExPASy references the protein sequence knowledgebase, UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, and its computer annotated supplement, UniProtKB/Trembl.
ExPASy was the first website of the life sciences.
As of 5 April 2007 (2007 -04-05), ExPASy has been consulted 1 billion times since its installation on 1 August 1993.
