There are many reasons why PLoS ONE is ideally suited to publishing this rich genomic data. Since every peer-reviewed article is
published open access and freely accessible online so it can be read by everyone
available in XML (HTML/PDF) format so it can be read by machine
pulls in other relevant data such as citations, blog coverage and bookmarks so you see more of the picture
and allows user discussion through rating and commenting so you can contribute to the debate

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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
