The international consortium was formed in 1996, with the aim of determining the complete sequence of the human genome. The consortium unanimously endorsed the Bermuda statement that “all human genomic sequence information should be freely available and in the public domain in order to encourage research and development and to maximize its benefit to society.” The consortium is still evolving (laboratories adopting the data release policy can join at any time), and as a result this list is not exhaustive.
