 'Private' and 'accessible' are two different issues, though. It seems to 
  me as if research does not necessarily benefit by this type of confiden-
  tiality. After all, the genome sequencing projects were launched to en-
  lighten and not to upset the community. What does it help if I know that
  the sequence I am working on will be published for sure and is known al-
  ready, but not to me? I'd have to resequence it and will even not get a-
  warded a publication as it is already known that it is known.

Reinhard
