Bermuda Principles

Bermuda Principles

The Bermuda Principles (also known as the Bermuda Accords) are a set of agreements made by researchers involved in the sequencing of the human genome during a meeting on the Bermudas in 1996. The goal of the agreement was to provide a basis for a free sharing of pre-published data on gene sequences among scientists.

The three principles retained originally were:
* Automatic release of sequence assemblies larger than 1 kb (preferably within 24 hours).
* Immediate publication of finished annotated sequences.
* Aim to make the entire sequence freely available in the public domain for both research and development in order to maximise benefits to society.
