database faces extinction because its funding is being phased out by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), and no alternative source is on the horizon. “This is the wrong way to go,” says genomics researcher Ernest Retzel of the National Center for Genome Resources in Santa Fe, New Mexico. “I believe it will set the field back.” The NSF says that it does not have a policy to support long-term, established research-infrastructure projects such as the Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR), which maintains a free, openaccess database of genetic and molecular-biology data for Arabidopsis thaliana, or thale cress, the widely used model plant. “We didn’t approach this decision in isolation, we considered our whole portfolio,” says Peter Arzberger, director of the Division of Biological Infrastructure at the NSF. “We rely on peer review in setting our priorities.” The NSF has suggested that TAIR develop its own self-supporting funding model, based on user subscriptions and other sources of income. But TAIR director Eva Huala told an international meeting on database and bioresource sustainability, held in Rome on 11–12 November, that introducing a subscription system would destroy, not save, TAIR. Huala, a member of the Department of Plant Biology at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, California, presented preliminary results of a survey among TAIR users, which revealed that many would be reluctant to submit data to TAIR if these were not freely shared. Established ten years ago, TAIR integrates data submitted by the community with data extracted from the literature, and it has evolved into the plant community’s foremost authority on matters relating to plant genomics, regulating nomenclature and developing curation standards. It is much more widely used than other plant databases because of its all-inclusive nature and the quality of its curation. TAIR also feeds information into other specialist databases, such as those of the National Center for Biotechnology Information in Bethesda, Maryland, and the international protein database UniProt. In addition, it links to the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Plant genetics database at risk as funds run dry
