The legacy of Amos Bairoch, the resources he and others created (Swiss-Prot, UniProt, PROSITE, ENZYME, ExPASy, neXtProt, Cellosaurus), his commitment to open access and high-quality curation, is immense and have guided bioinformatics to this day.

Deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Amos Bairoch. He introduced me to bioinformatics 22 years ago and helped shape our field with resources like Swiss-Prot, Cellosaurus, and ViralZone. I’ve lost a friend, and the community has lost a visionary.
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Amos Bairoch, pioneer of bioinformatics and co-founder of SIB. His lifelong commitment for high-quality, open data transformed global research. We honour his legacy by continuing to build the future of bioinformatics.

A #Bioinformatics giant passes away. Very sad to hear this news today. Sad for Switzerland, and for the whole world. Amos Bairoch was a part of the Bioinformatics community for many decades. He will be missed. #Database #Biocuration #SwissProt #Prosite #Cellosaurus |

Key takeaways:
• Verify your cell lines BEFORE starting experiments, not after publishing
• Use Cellosaurus to check if your line has known problems
