ABSTRACT
In terms of access to genetic and genomic data, we live in a time of extraordinary opportunity, literally awash in a rich flood of genomic data. The complete genomic sequences of a widening range of organisms, together with detailed annotation describing genomic features, are pouring out of large, publicly funded projects. These projects make all of their data freely available through the internet. Interested scientists can use freely available tools to explore it and apply it to their own work.
