As sequencing prices drop, genomic data accumulates-seemingly at a steadily increasing pace. Most genomic data potentially have value beyond the initial purpose-but only if shared with the scientific community. This, of course, is often easier said than done. Some of the challenges in sharing genomic data include data volume (raw file sizes and number of files), complexities, formats, nomenclatures, metadata descriptions, and the choice of a repository. In this paper, we describe 10 quick tips for sharing open genomic data.
随着测序价格的下降,基因组数据不断积累——似乎呈稳步增长的趋势。大多数基因组数据除了最初的目的之外都具有潜在的价值——但前提是与科学界共享。当然,说起来容易做起来难。共享基因组数据的一些挑战包括数据量(原始文件大小和文件数量)、复杂性、格式、命名法、元数据描述以及存储库的选择。在本文中,我们介绍了共享开放基因组数据的 10 个快速技巧。
