Data Release Policy - The Brugia malayi Genome Database
The sequencing centers involved in the Brugia malayi genome sequencing
project have agreed that the preliminary sequence information
(shotgun reads as well as assembled contigs) should be released
rapidly to ensure that their scientific colleagues have access to
information that may assist them in the search for genes and their
biological function. Data releases do not constitute scientific
publication, but rather provide investigators with information that
may "jump-start" biological experimentation. Users of this
information are encouraged to share their results with this
sequencing facility in order to improve annotation of the sequence
data.
Investigators using data from this site should acknowledge the
source of information or materials obtained from this site in any
publication by including the following sentences in both the
Materials and Methods and Acknowledgment sections:
Preliminary sequence data for B. malayi is deposited
regularly into the GSS division of GenBank. The Sequencing effort is
part of the International Brugia Genome Sequencing Project and is supported by
an award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
National Institutes of Health.
Given that this information is considered preliminary and may
contain inaccuracies, it is expected that no one will publish
analyses, based on the preliminary data referred to in this Website, of
genes on a whole chromosome or genome scale without permission of
this sequencing center. This sequencing center plans on publishing
the completed and annotated sequence in a peer-reviewed journal.
