For over a decade now, NIH grantees generating DNA sequence have been expected to make their findings available in GenBank, an online government archive. Thus, there is now an extensive, easily searchable archive of sequences that has greatly facilitated research in many areas of biology and medicine. PLoS's Eisen suggests that GenBank provides a model for how biological work in general should be treated. If more full-text articles were similarly available through PubMed Central, he argues, the benefits to research would likely be vast.
