Editorial Global Ocean Sampling Collection * Hemai Parthasarathy , Emma Hill, Catriona MacCallum Although extensive in scope, the But the publishing reality in papers presented here only touch the surface of the wealth of information to be gleaned from these data, which are freely available for all to explore from their desktops: the trace reads and processed data have been deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s Trace Archive (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/Traces) (with the exception of that fraction of the trace data acquired from Ecuadorian coastal waters), annotated with extensive geographical and physicochemical metadata. The assemblies and associated annotated peptides will be delivered to GenBank (http:??www. /Genbank) around the time of publication, and will become available after GenBank has processed them. More immediately, and potentially more usefully, these data are also freely available through a specially built database, CAMERA— Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis (http:??)— which provides greater annotation and analysis capabilities [8]. (CAMERA was funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which also supports PLoS.) The proponents of open-access publishing, ourselves included, often cite as an inspiration the power that open access to DNA sequence databases has had in transforming scienti?c discovery. As our founders noted in the inaugural issue of PLoS Biology, “With great foresight, it was decided in the early 1980s that published DNA sequences should be deposited in a central repository, in a common format, where they could be freely accessed and used by anyone. Simply giving scientists free and unrestricted access to the raw sequences led them to develop the powerful methods, tools, and resources that have made the whole much greater than the sum of the individual sequences....Now imagine the possibilities if the same creative explosion that was fueled by open access to D
