Sequence data
The sequencing of unfinished sequences is still in progress and does not necessarily represent the correct sequence. The release of these data is based on the understanding that the sequence will change as the work continues. Please ensure that you use the latest available version of unfinished sequences. In the interval between first unfinished release and finishing, errors are continuously being discovered and corrected. 

While every effort is made to insure the sequence is only L. major, the sequence may contain E. coli, sequence cloning vector or be cross contaminated with other Leishmania chromosomes.

This sequencing centre plans on publishing the completed and annotated sequences in a peer-reviewed journal as soon as possible. Permission of the principal investigator should be obtained before publishing analyses of the sequence/open reading frames/genes on a chromosome or genome scale.

As well as finished sequences, which are freely available through EMBL/Genbank, we also make unfinished sequence data available. Users of unfinished sequence data from the Sanger Institute should not publish or otherwise disseminate the information without appropriate acknowledgement. The appropriate format is as follows: 
"These sequence data were produced by the xxx Sequencing Group at the Sanger Institute and can be obtained from ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/yyy" 
where "xxx" is the name of the relevant sequencing project, such as "L. major" or "P. falciparum", and "yyy" is the appropriate ftp directory from which the data has been obtained. An http URL may be given in place of the ftp directory if that was the source of the data.
