Hi Terence
thanks for the info
A couple of comments and questions
- I have submitted many EST datasets in the past (standard Sanger
ones) and havent been 'required' by NCBI dbEST to 'register' the
'genome project' they derive from. Is this a new rule, or is it an
aspiration?
- We have Illumina, Roche and AB instruments, and our user base is
requesting 'whole' transcriptome and genome data generation ever more
frequently, so it will be good to get a registry going. However,
waiting till the data are submitted to GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ may not be
what the community needs - I think I'd like to have a registry of
genomes-in-progress and genomes-in-aspiration, so we can collaborate
in data generation (someone might be doing a genome for the
transcriptome I am generating, etc), data analysis (someone might be
interested in the clade my genome is from) and thus copublication/web
presentation. Is that what you meant Don?
- a question... the 'big' (or maybe thats 'vast' now!) genome centres
are part of a global collaborative, and thus have their genomes-in-
progress and genomes-in-waiting fasttracked to NCBI and other www
sites. Ive tried to contact them via http://www.intlgenome.org/ but
had no reply. Now that we are able to generate >10 Gbase/week of raw
data in our centre alone, it would be good to open the club a little,
no?
