GenomeWeb Bioinformaticists Debate Science-Celera Agreement
"Two leading bioinformaticists have issued a call to arms to their colleagues in response to Science’s decision to allow Celera to submit its genome data under special circumstances.
“Agitate. Let Science know you care,” write the letter’s authors, Ewan Birney of the European Bioinformatics Institute and Sean Eddy of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Washington University. “Even if we can’t change the deal with Celera, we can try to make sure it’s a one-time only deal that’s viewed as a Big Mistake.”"
"The bioinformaticists argue the Celera-Science agreement could set a precedent that would allow researchers to publish their databases under different material transfer agreements, making it impossible for researchers to access a single DNA database to do research, and forcing researchers to enter into a complex web of contracts to get access to data."
“Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.”
