[PCA] WEB: National Biological Information Infrastructure terminated

[James Trager]

I'd like to understand better what this means. Is it just this
particular infrastructure that will end, but all the contained data and
literature bases will continue to exist?

In practice, I have accessed materials independently that are reachable
through the NBII, and frankly didn't even know this structure existed
before getting this announcement.
