From page 69...
... Bermuda rules -The data release policy of the International Sequencing Consortium, deriving from the principle that sequence wiD be of greatest public benefit if freely available. Under the rules, assemblies of 1-2 kilobases are deposited in public data banks every 24 hours, and no patents are filed.

... Members include soybean, beans cowpeas, peas, and alfalfa as wed as numerous tropical trees. Finished sequencing - Additional sequencing needed to fib gaps, reduce ambiguities, and increasing sequence accuracy to no more than 1 error per 10,000 base pairs.

... Microarrays can be used to monitor genetic diversity based on DNA-DNA hybridization, or to measure changes in gene expression, based on hybridization of a given mRNA population to cDNA embedded in a silica chip.
