The Data Usage Policy for data generated under proposals accepted before 2025 is:
By accessing these data, you agree not to publish any articles containing analyses of genes or genomic data prior to publication by the principal investigators of its comprehensive analysis without the consent of project's principal investigators. These restrictions will be lifted once the publication of the whole genome or comparable description occurs. Scientists must contact the principal investigators about their intentions to include any data from this project in a publication prior to publication of principal investigator’s primary report in order to ensure that their publication does not compete directly with planned publications (e.g. reserved analyses) of the Verticilli-Omics Project.
The principal investigators are the point of contact and arbiter regarding publication plans. Reserved analyses include but are not limited to the identification and analysis of complete (whole genome) sets of genomic features, such as genes and gene expression levels, gene families, gene clusters, regulatory elements, repeat structures, GC content, etc., and whole-genome comparisons of regions of evolutionary conservation or change. Manually annotated genes within the Genome Portal are also reserved. Studies of any type on the reserved data sets that are not in direct competition with those planned by the Verticilli-Omics Project may also be undertaken after an agreement with principal investigators. Interested parties must contact the principal investigators to discuss such possibilities.
If these data are used for publication, the following acknowledgment should be included: "These sequence data were produced by the Verticilli-Omics Project in collaboration with the user community." We request that you notify us upon publication so that this information can be included in the final annotation.

These restrictions will be lifted upon publication(s) of the dataset or five years after the public release of this data, whichever is first.
