Top three use cases identified through both empirical experience and formal investigator interviews.

Use Case Description
1 A researcher wants to know where to send samples for full genome sequencing using a particular type of next generation sequencer.
2 A genomics core director wants to know what experiences others have had with two different data storage system vendors.
3 A researcher is studying physiology and metabolism. She already makes use of a calorimeter at her home institution, but is not aware of a double-labeled water technology to quantify oxidation, available at another institution – and useful for various applications within the study of metabolism and physiology.
