Highlights of the year

• The Norine database for nonribosomal peptides has been recognized by wwPDB as the international reference resource for peptides that are not encoded in genomes. The mission of the worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) is to maintain a single databank of macromolecular structural data, that is freely and publicly available to the global community.

• The RNAspace platform for annotation of noncoding RNAs has been awarded by the IBISA label. IBISA is a French consortium for evaluating and funding national technological platforms in life sciences.
