[Oa-italia] Casi eccellenti di uso Open Access

[Brunella Longo]

Buongiorno a tutti. Chiedo scusa per il cross posting.
Sto cercando casi di uso di journals e/o repositories   OA per la
comunicazione di risultati di grande rilevanza scientifica. 
Un esempio mi pare Insignia, progetto finanziato da una agenzia federale USA
di cui hanno molto parlato svariate agenzie stampa la settimana scorsa
http://insignia.cbcb.umd.edu/ 
 
Di seguito la notizia ripresa da:

Insignia: A New Way To Identify Viruses And Bacteria

Science Daily - Now that the genome sequences of hundreds of bacteria and
viruses are known, we can design tests that will rapidly detect the presence
of these species based solely on their DNA. These tests can detect a
pathogen in a complex mixture of organic material by recognizing short,
distinguishing sequences--called DNA signatures--that occur in the pathogen
and not in any other species.
Adam Phillippy and colleagues from the University of Maryland, USA, have
developed a computer program that can identify these signatures with a
higher degree of accuracy than ever before. They describe this new
computational system, called Insignia, and the results of its successful
application on 46 Vibrio cholerae strains this week in the Open Access
journal PLoS Computational Biology.
