    You might be interested to read our data release policy http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/release-policy.sh tml which describes how the finished data is made publicly available, to all, no charge.

  2. Re:go slash! on Version Fatigue · · Score: 1
    If you don't want the change, don't upgrade.

    That's easier said than done, if your favourite OS/editor/whatever is obsoleted by a new version and the vendor/developer refuses to support the older version. In the hardware world, you might be even worse off -- you might not be able to purchase a replacement when your good old favourite gadget breaks. (Though Ebay can be useful there.)
