The Songbird Neurogenomics Initiative's EST collection has been made available to the scientific community in good faith. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy in the sequencing and cataloging of these clones, but errors are possible. Therefore, individual researchers are strongly encouraged to fully sequence all clones acquired from this collection to ensure accuracy. Additionally, the Songbird Neurogenomics Initiative requests that researchers submit their sequencing results to Genbank as a way to contribute to this growing resource. Upon submission, please forward the Genbank Accession Number to Dr. Lei Liu, lei.liu@uiuc.edu, at the Keck Center for Functional Genomics at the University of Illinois, for inclusion in the Songbird ESTIMA database.
