DATA USE POLICY
Washington University School of Medicine Genome Sequencing Center

Our goal is to provide high quality sequence information to the research
community in a timely manner.  Accordingly, individual sequence read traces are
submitted to the NCBI Trace Archive as soon as they have exited our quality
control pipeline.  Whole genome sequence assemblies are released as soon as
possible following appropriate quality analysis.  Our archive site contains
draft versions of the genome sequence assemblies, and we ask that you
understand that these represent preliminary data, subject to omissions and
errors.  In addition, whole genome assemblies are likely to change upon the
availability of new data, and our website will document new assembly versions
as they are released.

In recognition of the extensive effort that underlies these genome sequencing 
projects, we ask that you appropriately acknowledge the use of any preliminary 
data. We offer the following example for acknowledgement: "These data were 
produced by the Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University School of 
Medicine in St. Louis and can be obtained from ftp://genome.wustl.edu/pub/xxx",
where xxx refers to the appropriate ftp directory from which the data has been 
obtained. Our official web address may also be used. This recommendation is in 
accordance with the adopted guidelines by the genome sequencing community in a 
statement of principles for the distribution and use of large-scale sequencing 
data: Community Resource Projects and the resulting NHGRI policy statement. 
If you have any questions regarding the use of this data, please contact us 
at web address: webmaster@genome.wustl.edu. We request that you contact the 
Director of the Sequencing Center, Richard Wilson, before publishing analyses 
of the sequence on a chromosome or genome scale. We welcome collaborative 
interaction to provide the community with improved whole genome analyses and 
annotations.
