Although BCO-DMO does not host raw sequence or mass spectrometry data, we can easily link to the repositories that do. In doing so BCO-DMO can allow researchers to discover your data and place it in its appropriate environmental context. Because BCO-DMO datasets are connected to their expeditions, environmental data associated with the meta’omic sample locations can be easily connected. Similarly, BCO-DMO connects data to grants and/or projects, allowing laboratory experimental data to be associated with 'omic data. BCO-DMO’s site is optimized for data discovery using search engines, and specific data types can be searched for within BCO-DMO’s holdings. With a minor effort in submission, all the hard work you have put into collecting your dataset can be used to help other researchers throughout the world better discover and interpret your data. You, the data generator, will benefit from submission through increased citations and collaborations.
