Approved White Papers
Since these sequencing projects are considered community resources and the data sets are valuable research resources to the community, centers anticipate making the white papers available to the scientific community through their websites. If necessary, we will work with white paper authors to make suitable versions of the white papers available through the centers’ websites. White papers will not undergo alteration if sequencing or analysis strategies change during the course of the project.
