The Tree of Life: Today is a day to be annoyed with Nature (Publishing Group that is) #NatureFail

"Am getting really pissed off right now....I...wanted to link to an article I was a coauthor on. The article was the paper on sequencing and analysis of the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana. So I googled "Arabidopsis Genome Initiative" and found the link to the paper at Nature....[It was TA but] is supposed to be freely available to all forever, under a policy Nature developed for papers reporting new genome sequence data....So then I looked for other genome papers I have published in Nature. And so I looked for the Plasmodium genome paper. [Same result]...And so I looked at many others. And for most, I got the same thing. Not freely available....I know. I know. This is probably just some glitch in their system. They really do seem committed to trying to make these available. But clearly, the system either does not work well. Or they are not committed to it. Either way this is really annoying...."
