On November 10, I blogged the fact that LANL Influenza Sequence Database ran out of funding and had to convert from OA to subscription-based access. I'm glad to report that there is, and long has been, another OA database of influenza genome sequences, the Influenza Virus Resource from the NCBI.

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.
