I am the administrator of the DAS - registration server.
DAS is a collaborative approach to share biological data. It is
actively being used by many institutions around the world.
The DAS registry was developed in order to make it easier to discover
DAS servers.

DAS does not force anybody to get their servers registered.
That's why some servers might not be listed. Usually, if I learn about 
a server
that is not there yet, I will contact the adminstrator and invite 
him/her to register.

If you know of any servers that are not registered in the DAS registry,
please let me know and I will take care of it.

Andreas
