Dear Leonid, Please refer the Copyright Department of the Journal of Experimental Algorithmics to this page (http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQlicense.html#license1) where it states: "The data displayed by the Genome Browser is freely available for both public and commercial use with a few exceptions. Check the README.txt file in the assembly download directory to view the use restrictions specific to that release."
The link that you provided (http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/bigZips/) states at the bottom that "All the files in this directory are freely available for public use." Hope this suffices! Please feel free to contact the mailing list ([email protected]) if you need further assistance. Vanessa Kirkup Swing UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leonid Boytsov" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 9:33:32 AM Subject: [Genome] A permission to upload extracts from the human genome to the site of the ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics Dear Madam/Sir, I am currently in the process of publishing a computational survey that compares several search methods. Among other test data, I use a subset of random sequences extracted from the human genome (available for download from your website: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/bigZips/). According to your guidelines, this data is freely available for public use. I wonder if you permit to upload the dataset obtained from the human genome to the site of the ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics. This data will be available for download for subscribers of the ACM. Please note that it is not a full genome, but rather a collection of random subsequences. I have to obtain the permission to comply with the request of the Copyright Department of the Journal of Experimental Algorithmics. It is Ok to give a permission by e-mail. Please, specify the person who would authorize this upload. Thank you very much in advance! Kind regards, Leonid Boytsov _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
