Sra Replacement

Now that the SRA is getting shut down, how do you plan on sharing your reads?

sra sequencing ncbi

Did you read that link before posting it?

They are only continuing to host 3 types of data. It is no longer a repository for short reads. They are only hosting: assemblies, epigenomic data, and 16S rRNA amplicons.

The [?]European Nucleotide Archive[?] might be an option.

EMBL-EBI will continue to operate its SRA according to http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/SRA_announcement_Feb_2011.pdf .

and also DDBJ will continue Sequence Raw Data Archiving

From http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra:

We therefore encourage the research community to continue submissions of these data to the applicable databases, including:

  1. RNA-Seq and epigenomic data to GEO
  2. Variants, genotypes, phased haplotypes, and polymorphisms to dbVar, dbGaP and dbSNP
  3. Genomic assemblies to GenBank/WGS
  4. Transcript assemblies to GenBank/TSA
  5. 16S ribosomal RNA and other targeted
  6. locus survey assemblies to GenBank

None of those things are for reads data except for maybe 16S.

I agree with 'audyyy' SRA now does not have any facility for DNA reads, e.g. ChIP-seq.

In time, I believe BioTorrents may seen to be a viable option for hosting raw sequencing data.
