General Information

Synapse is a collaborative research platform that allows individuals and teams to share, track, and discuss their data and analysis in projects. 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.

	'description' has been modified:
		Before: The MEP LINCS project contributes to the development
of the NIH Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) program by developing a dataset and computational strategy to elucidate how microenvironment (ME) signals affect cell intrinsic
intracellular transcriptional- and protein-defined molecular networks to generate experimentally observable cellular phenotypes measured by high-content imaging.
		After: Synapse is a collaborative, open-source research platform that allows teams to share data, track analyses, and collaborate. It provides infrastructure and hosting for datasets.
