 Sharing large data sets 

With the advent of next generation sequencing, high throughput genotyping, and high throughput phenotyping, collaboration between scientists has moved beyond the ability of email. Fortunately, several new tools and techniques have become available to facilitate sharing and manipulating these large data sets.

Google Docs

Google docs offers the option of placing datasets on the web and then sharing those datasets with selected individuals or parties. Google docs offers free storage of up to 5Gb of data, so it is suitable for sharing large excel files, figure files, and short video files.

To share files with google docs, open a google account:
