Search publicly available data in Pluto to use for your own analysis and visualization
In Pluto, under the Research menu > Published data, you can search for published experiments and analyze them interactively for your own proprietary research. Any analysis performed on published data will be kept private to your organization's workspace and will not be visible to other users in Pluto unless you explicitly share it with them.
🔒 Remember: All experiments securely stored in Pluto are private by default. Public experiments on this page were published by their author and made publicly available.
Let's get started exploring!
Step 1: Search for relevant experiments
Use the search bar on the left sidebar of the Explore tab to search for a term that's relevant to your research. You can also turn on filters for organism and experiment type.
Step 2: Analyze the experiment
You can click into any experiment to view the data and any analysis that was performed and made publicly available.
To do your own analysis, select the "..." button > Copy to create a copy of this experiment in one of your own private projects. This enables you to "start from scratch" and perform your own custom analysis on this data set.
For experiments containing raw data, you can choose to copy over the raw data if you'd like to rerun a FASTQ pipeline from scratch (e.g. to align against a different genome), but in most cases, selecting the processed data for immediate analysis is sufficient:
Step 3: Attribution
If you use any data found on Pluto, please be sure to cite the original authors. Their contact information and affiliation can usually be found in the experiment description.
Additionally, if you use any plots that you generated with Pluto in research papers or any other materials, you must also provide attribution with the following or similar statement:
