[Bioperl-l] TRANSFAC matrices, open acces

[Maximilian Haeussler]

Actually, the fact that the transfac matrices are belonging to a
company is quite inconvenient for biologists and bioinformatics
analyses working in this field.

There are some projects to annotate cis-sequences in regular intervals
by volunteers and put the data into the public domain, one of them is
the oreganno database http://www.oreganno.org/. Its first annotation
jamboree will be held in Gent at the end of this year.
If you're interested in cis-sequences, want to meet others that are
and are willing to contribute some annotation efforts, don't hestitate
to come to gent, it's conveniently placed in the middle of europe and
registration costs almost nothing.

One day, hopefully, journals will oblige authors to put their
sequences in a common format into genbank but as long as regulation is
not seen as an important part of genome annotation, a lot manual
annotation will have to be done.
