They are covered by the Fort Lauderdale (1) and later Toronto (2) agreements according to which:

* the producers of the sequence data make their data available to the public and state their intent to publish the analyses
* the users of the data ask permission to use the pre-publication data and cite the appropriate source
* the journals and reviewers make sure that articles are published following the guidelines.

Release to GenBank and other repositories does not constitute publication. Please contact any of the below if you wish to use these sequences in published analyses:
