I don't believe that NCBI felt a collection of promoter data was inappropriate. Instead I was under the impression at their July meeting that they believed this should be included in one of the "boutique" databases (mentioned in my earlier reply today to Gribskov) which would be layered on top of GenInfo instead of being part of GenInfo itself. Obviously I am not their spokesman, so perhaps Jim Ostell or someone else at NCBI can elaborate on this further. Dave Kristofferson
