Data analysis: Create a cloud commons via @naturenews

Major funding agencies should ensure that large biological data sets are stored in cloud services to enable easy access and fast analysis, say Lincoln D. Stein and colleagues. (Lincoln D. Stein,Bartha M. Knoppers,Peter Campbell,Gad Getz,Jan O. Korbel)

The article can be found here in Nature News.  I have to agree with them - think of the improvements in the ability to access and use the data, as well as the potential numbers of people who could look at the data with different perspectives.  Think of it as a Kaggle competition with no monetary prize at the end.
