Dennis Normile, New Global Database Lends a Hand to Gene Hunters, Science 304(5669), 368 (16 April 2004). (Access restricted to subscribers.) "A database of annotated, full-length human complementary DNAs (cDNAs), compiled by an international team led by Japanese researchers, has been opened for public access. The database is expected to be a boon for research related to drug development, gene hunting, molecular evolution, and comparative genomics." The product is called "Human Full-Length cDNA Annotation Invitational," or "H-Invitational," resulting from a conference where researchers were chosen for the high quality of their data.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
