Data Release Policy - The Brassica oleracea Genome Database

Policy on use of Brassica oleracea preliminary sequence information

The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) releases data very rapidly to ensure that our 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 TIGR in order to improve annotation of the sequence data. Data or information may contain errors or be incomplete and should be regarded as preliminary.

TIGR asks that you acknowledge the source of information obtained from this site in any publication by including the following sentence in both the Materials and Methods and Acknowledgement sections: "Preliminary sequence data was obtained from The Institute for Genomic Research website at http://www.tigr.org." Also include the following text in the Acknowledgements: "Sequencing of Brassica oleracea was funded by the "National Science Foundation".
