Data
release policy
Preliminary
drafts of the X. tropicalis sequence are made freely
available before scientific publication by the Department of Energy's
Joint Genome Institute and the X. tropicalis Genome
Consortium, with the following understanding:
- The
data may be freely downloaded, used in analyses, and repackaged in
databases.
-
Users are free to use the data in scientific papers analyzing
particular genes and regions if the provider of this data (DoE Joint
Genome Institute) is properly acknowledged.
- Additional
shotgun sequencing is ongoing, and future assembly releases will be
made in a timely fashion. We expect to publish an initial analysis of
a high quality draft X. tropicalis genome sequence in 2005
(with submission targeted for the spring of 2005) which will include
descriptions of the large scale organization of the frog genome as
well as genome-scale comparisons of the frog sequence and gene set
with those of other animals. Others who would like to coordinate
other genome-wide analysis with this work should contact us. We welcome a coordinated approach to
describing this community resource.
-
Any redistribution of the data should carry this notice.
