My paper on the philosophy of genetic sequence databases is almost finished.
People who would like to read and comment on the current version can find a
current copy in my archive:

cd pub/delila

I will greatly appreciate your comments. Please mention the version number.
(The current version is 1.70, only references changed from version 1.69, and
the ascii version is cleaner.)
The paper describes what's fundamentally wrong with the current databases and
proposes how to fix them.
