# Expasy

> Expasy is the bioinformatics resource portal of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics,
> providing free access to over 160 databases, software tools, and data sets supporting
> life science and biomedical research worldwide. Founded in August 1993, it was the first
> life science website on the internet.
