Even more disturbing is when as a reviewer, you ask that code used be made publicly available as a condition of publication and the editor of the journal doesn't consider this to be a valid or relevant consideration...
Question: Composite of multiple signals; Where have you gone? |

This composite method for detecting natural selection seems to have made a big splash. http://www.sciencemag.org/content/327/5967/883.abstract However, does an implementation that can be downloaded exist? I have read the paper, visited the lab's website and poked around the internet, but no luck. Anyone know of a newer paper or tool that I should consider using in place of CMS? |

According to this press release from 2010: "The software tools for CMS analysis are all homegrown, and should soon be available, perhaps wrapped into a program called Sweep for the long haplotype analysis." I suggest you email the authors and ask how things are coming along :) Of course, if journals required that software used for analyses be made available, we would not have this kind of problem. It astonishes me that so-called top-tier journals will accept the results of an analysis with no concern regarding the tools used to do it. |
