      • Reasons for recommending:
        In 2007 we called for a network that would link databases in the biosciences in our Methods to Watch section. We envisaged a scenario in which a wealth of information on, for example, genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, and glycome would be easily accessible to a researcher and aid in the scientific discovery process. Is there still a need for such a meta-network or are scientists satisfied with the current network of databases?
