3. Is
there
a
database,
implemen7ng
standards,
where
to
deposit
my
metagenomics
dataset?
My
funder’s
data
sharing
policy
recommends
the
use
of
established
standards,
but
which
ones
are
widely
endorsed
and
applicable
to
my
toxicological
and
clinical
data?
Am
I
using
the
most
up-­‐to-­‐date
version
of
this
terminology
to
annotate
cell-­‐based
assays?
I
understand
this
format
has
been
deprecated;
what
has
been
replaced
by
and
how
is
leading
the
work?
Are
there
databases
implemen)ng
this
exchange
format,
whose
development
we
have
funded?
What
are
the
mature
standards
and
standards-­‐
compliant
databases
we
should
recommend
to
our
authors?
