#TAIR is a key reference tool #plantscience. That's why nearly 100 volunteers chose to contribute to the soon-to-be-released reannotation of the #Arabidopsis genome. 🧪
Meet one of those volunteers: Emmanuel Boutet: bit.ly/4p6FagQ

It's our birthday! Twenty-five years ago, in December 2000, the Arabidopsis thaliana genome was published and #TAIR was born.
Now, we're preparing for the release of #TAIR12 early in the new year. What a long way we've come!

Happy #OAweek! This week the research and #scholcomm communities celebrate #OpenAccess, and consider the question of "Who owns our knowledge?"
For MorphoBank the answer is simple: creators do. We encourage maximally open CC0 licensing, and support a range of other Creative Commons options.
