“How do you handle terabytes of data?” asks Nature Methods' Chief Editor Veronique Kiermer at Methagora, the journal's blog (http://blogs.nature.com/nmeth/methagora/2008/06/data_overload.html). That, she says, “is a question that more and more investigators must face, on a weekly basis” — and is also the topic of the journal's July Editorial (Nature Methods 5, 577; 2008).

Kiermer notes that a single experimental run of light-sheet fluorescence microscopy can generate so much raw data that handling and storage become a challenge. The '1000 Genomes' project asks participants to save raw sequencing data in public archives that are being developed in the United States and Europe.
