titleWhat does Synapse do?

Synapse allows researchers to share and describe data, analyses, and other content. Data and analyses can be stored in many types of locations, including private servers, local hard drives, or cloud storage. Synapse provides a common interface to describe these data or analyses, where they come from, and how to use them. Synapse also provides mechanisms for adding and retrieving data, analyses, and their respective descriptions.

titleHow much does it cost to use Synapse?

We allow groups to get started for free by subsidizing relatively moderate amounts of internal Synapse cloud storage (e.g. 10s of GB). If your needs will exceed this limit we suggest contacting SynapseInfo@sagebase.org for other solutions, including the ability for groups to host their own content either in cloud storage, proxied from /wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/2048327803 or as external links.
