Thanks Pat - can you please add this to the comment thread on the GitHub
issue (and can others please add there as well)? That'll allow people
who aren't on 'discuss' to comment/read as well.
Cheers,
Greg

If they're sequence data then they really should be deposited in the
sequence read archive at NCBI or the equivalent at EMBL. The journal
editors/reviewers will likely insist on this.

During a workshop last week, a post-doc who's about to start setting up a new bioinformatics lab
asked, "Where should I store the data?" Right now, her group has samples in a freezer and
sequence data from them archived on a couple of portable hard drives (with copies of some of that
data on lab members' laptops). The data is from human subjects, but has been anonymized, and
they're expecting to get more (but "more" means terabytes, not petabytes, at least in the
near future). Options being discussed include everything from a paid Dropbox account to FTP space
on the university's secure server.
I know a lot of people on this list have experience and opinions, so I've
opened an issue for discussion at
https://github.com/swcarpentry/site/issues/797. If you'd like to tell us what
you do, and why, please add a comment there. (If you don't have permission to
comment, please send me your GitHub username, and I'll fix that.) Once we've
collected some advice, we'll turn it into a blog post that we can point to from
our lessons.
And please note that comments from people who *aren't* bioinformaticians are
equally welcome. What do people do in ecology? In economics? In astronomy?
How well does it work? When *doesn't* it work, and why?
Thanks,
Greg
