* For the techies amongst you, the PRIDE source code has undergone
significant refactoring This will make it easier to use the PRIDE API
for third party developers.

We are currently working on a significant number of new PRIDE queries
and reports to make the PRIDE database more useful to the proteomics
community. These new tools will be rolled out over the next few
months.
