Helicos BioSciences Corporation today announced the launch of the HeliSphere Technology Center, an open access Web site for sharing Helicos data sets and bioinformatics software tools.
... [The] site showcases single molecule sequence reads from whole genome resequencing and digital gene expression runs using the Helicos Genetic Analysis System.
The first sample datasets released include whole genome sequences of the microbes Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Rhodobacter sphaeroides, sequenced with consensus accuracies greater than 99.995%. Each sample dataset, containing between six and 12 million aligned reads, was generated from one channel of a 50-channel run on the HeliScope Single Molecule Sequencer. ...
Data from a number of exciting sequencing projects currently underway will be posted on the HeliSphere Technology Center Web site on a regular basis. ...

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
