Abstract
The sequence variation project at EBI aims to create a unified resource for browsing and searching sequence differences. Technical advances in reading in neu data types and in validating and cross referencing entries are repo rted. Tt is suggested that the hardest problems in unifying mutation databa ses are related to intellectual property rights. The concept of copylefting is introduced as a potential solution to these.
