In order to improve the long term sustainability, we are transitioning the long term data sharing/ data repository model from hosting data at AnimalGenome.ORG to using better resources publicly available.
We recommend users use one of these freely available resources to archive/share your data: OSF and DRAYD.
- Open Science Framework (OSF) - https://osf.io/
- Free; supported by Center for Open Science (COS).
- Long term sustainability: OSF is supported through grants from a variety of supporters, with its current revenue more than $7 million.
- Preservation fund of $250,000 sufficient for 50+ years of hosting read access to the current data in the event that COS had to curtail.
- Alliances with many university libraries for data sharing and access.
- Flexible features for users: it supports both private and public workflows. Projects or components of projects can be kept private for collaborators or made public controlled by users.
- DOIs available for public projects and registrations.
- Support API tools.
- Dryad: https://datadryad.org/
- curated, general-purpose data repository built on open-source software
- for sharing, publishing, and preserving publicly available research data
- for peer-reviewed publications
- in the basic sciences and medicine
- supported in part by data publication charges
See Frequently Asked Questions #4 for ways how to cite the data source for using data hosted here.
