Dog genome sequence complete and Open Access
Peter Suber, Open Access News Blog (8 Dec 2005):
"I'm sure you've heard that researchers have sequenced the genome of the dog. But it's important to add that the sequence data are OA at several sites around the world (here, here, here, here, here, and here).
(PS: The fact that the sequencing effort cost $30 million was not an argument to restrict access to the data and meter it out only to paying customers. On the contrary, like most science, this was an investment in future research and future benefits, not an investment in an income-producing asset. Scientific research best repays the investment when it is shared among all who can make use of it.)"
