...forward for your information - I recommend you have a look at Stowers Repository, containing all ORIGINAL image data of all their publications in a freely accessible image viewer: Finally you can see for yourself what the microscopic images really looked like, and finally all those 'unspecific bands' on the Western Blots are back, that turned out to be the real story, years later...

Last week, the Stowers Institute announced their institutional repository for original data associated with their publications. The announcement is here: http://www.stowers.org/media/news/jul-13-2012 And the repository itself is here: http://srdr.stowers.org/ The Stowers ODR is based on Bio-Formats and OMERO, open source technology built by the OME Consortium (http://www.openmicroscopy.org/). The OME Consortium is supported by grants from the Wellcome Trust and the BBSRC. As you probably know, the JCB DataViewer (http://jcb-dataviewer.rupress.org <http://jcb-dataviewer.rupress.org/>) and ASCB CELL (http://cellimagelibrary.org <http://cellimagelibrary.org/>) are other examples of public image repositories based on OMERO and Bio-Formats. The OME Consortium is proud that its technology is helping make scientific data open and freely available.
