We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

Description
Histone H2B is one of the four histones, along with H2A, H3 and H4, which forms the eukaryotic nucleosome core. Using alignments of histone H2B sequences [1,2,E1], we selected a conserved region in the C-terminal part of H2B.
