Data Release Policy - The Trypanosoma brucei Genome Database (TGAD)

The sequencing centers involved in the Trypanosoma brucei genome sequencing project have agreed that the preliminary sequence information and its annotation 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 TIGR 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 T. brucei chromosome(s) ## or BAC #### was obtained from The Institute for Genomic Research website. Sequencing of chromosome(s) ## is supported by an award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health.
