[Genome] Venter Genome

[Donna Karolchik]

hi Richard, Ewan, and everybody --

I'd like to elaborate on Kayla's answer a little bit. Kayla is 
correct that we do not have an immediate plan to post the Venter 
data on our public site. On the other hand, as Jim Kent points 
out, "We have no plans NOT to host the data either.". In other 
words, we are considering the Venter data in the context of the 
many other human genomes that are sure to follow, and are 
discussing the best way to display these data sets such that they 
will be the most useful to our research community. Several good 
ideas have evolved from the discussion, one or more of which will 
no doubt show up on our public site in upcoming releases. Keep an 
eye on genome-announce at soe.ucsc.edu for further information.
