Data Release Policy - The Tetrahymena thermophila Genome Database

Policy on use of Tetrahymena thermophila preliminary sequence information

This preliminary sequence information is being released to aid researchers interested in using Tetrahymena genome data as part of their work. 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 us.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 the T.thermophila scaffolds was obtained from The Institute for Genomic Research.

Sequencing of the genome is supported by award from the NIH-NIGMS and NSF.

Given that these scaffold sequences are preliminary, it is expected that no one will publish analyses, based on these data, of genes of features on a whole chromosome or genome scale without permission of The Institute for Genomic Research.
