How to acknowledge FABLE

FABLE data releases do not themselves constitute scientific publication, but are provided to scientists on a just-in-time basis to assist with gene- and disease-oriented investigations. The authors of FABLE ask that users appropriately acknowledge the project by mentioning the website address (FABLE: http://fable.chop.edu) in published material.

For projects aimed at large-scale analysis, we request that use of the data be on a collaborative basis.
