Dog Genome Sequence Available through Open Access

On December 8, 2005, Peter Suber on the Open Access News blog shared that the complete dog genome sequence has been published and is available "open access" on several web sites. As a side note, Peter Suber points out that the research cost $30 million, but that it was still made available for FREE.

Next time you read or hear, that research is too expensive to share freely, think about the dog genome sequencing. Science research only sees its highest benefit when shared with everyone.
