[open-science] Cancer Genome Atlas - Collaborative Analysis

[john wilbanks]

Some nice results from using Sage Bionetworks' Synapse to synch 250+ 
scientists from around the world to collectively analyze the Cancer 
Genome Atlas. Papers are Green OA (4 online today, 14 more in press).

In particular, if you're contemplating version control metaphors for 
science, I encourage you to read our commentary on what was required to 
support this kind of science at

(I work half-time at Sage Bionetworks, full disclosure. Read more about 
us at http://www.sagebase.org/philosophy/)

Best,
