Requirements to fulfill to become an expert
===========================================

An expert should be a scientist working with specific famili(es) of proteins
(or specific domains) and who would:

  a) Review the protein sequences in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and the
     patterns/matrices in PROSITE relevant to their field of research.
  b) Agree to be contacted by people that have obtained new sequence(s)
     which seem to belong to "their" familie(s) of proteins.
  c) Have access to electronic mail and be willing to use it to send and
     receive data.

If you are willing to be part of this scheme please contact:
