    One of the most useful databases, which gathers comprehensive data on proteomes of several organisms, including yeast and human, will require a paid subscription as of June 1st of this year (2002).

    Incyte Genomics plans to charge $2000 US per year per laboratory to access the library. A laboratory is defined to be ``a single Principal Investigator, his/her postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and technical support (usually 5-8 individuals).'' According to information provided, ``larger labs, depending on their size, may be required to purchase multiple subscriptions.''

    Charging the fee of $2000 US will simply mean cessation of its use for thousands of laboratories, mainly from poor countries, unfortunately, also including most of the European laboratories.

    Incyte Genomics seems to take seriously its slogan: ``Integrating the Science and Business of Genomics.''

metalife bio explorer offers detailed information like, for instance, sequence homologies, regulation of gene expression, genorts, clones and their commercial availability, mutations, phenotype information, a complete description of the diseases associated with this gene, and as far as available, treatments and their biochemical background information. the program also serves as a compendium for all scientific publications to these categories and facilitates the fast and easy access to these publications. it also provides detailed information on proteins. a broad complete structural and functional classification, detailed data on domain structures and motive composition, on secondary structures and sub-cellular localization in relation with information on functional homologies of orthologisms and paralogs complete the information on protein functions and facilitate an overview of all common characteristics of proteins.
