When to submit your data
When should you submit your data? As soon as you have the data! This will give the curators time to check through your submission and to work with you to ensure your submission complies with MIAME or MINSEQE guidelines. Both ArrayExpress in BioStudies and GEO databases give submitters full control over when to release the data to the public, so depositing early does not imply premature distribution of your unpublished data (Figure 3). Don’t wait until your manuscript is accepted, as curation can take longer than expected, and may result in a delay in the publication of your paper.
