Conclusions
• Recognize that BIG DATA storage issues differ
based on the purpose and use of data
• Maximize the value of biological research, by
improving the capability to store, catalog,
share and compare research through:
– Low cost and shared storage mechanisms
– Universal and easy-to-use tools that provide
researchers with the capability to compare their
findings with libraries of information
