Data Transfer, Storage, and Reference Data
Through our Galaxy portals, researchers have the ability to transfer reads and other datasets from their labs or sequencing centers using Globus Online web tools or other technologies.
NCGAS also makes available commonly used reference data sets for referenced-based assembly, alignment, and other tasks, on the Data Capacitor.
We provide a default allocation of 10 Terabytes (TB) on our Data Capacitor high speed disk system for your project data during analysis.
NCGAS offers a persistent (minimum of three years) allocation of archival storage space on the IU Scholarly Data Archive. Default allocations are 50 TB of data storage, with data stored in duplicate in tape silos in Bloomington and Indianapolis, IN. NCGAS will maintain data on tape for three years after the end of the award.
