**Data Release Policy - The Plasmodium yoelii Genome Database (PYDB)**

Policy on use of Plasmodium yoelii preliminary sequence information

The sequencing centers involved in the malaria genome sequencing project have agreed that the preliminary sequence information (shotgun reads, assembled contigs and gene models) 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 validate the annotation of the sequence data. Please email any useful information to py@tigr.org

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 and/or preliminary annotated sequence data from the Plasmodium yoelii genome was obtained from The Institute for Genomic Research website (www.tigr.org). This sequencing program is carried on in collaboration with the Naval Medical Research Center and is supported by the U.S. Department of Defense.

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 contained 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.
