Please contribute your next gen sequence data to your Sequence Read Archive--at either
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena
or
You can use the high-speed file transfer called fasp (Aspera, Inc., Emeryville, CA, USA) that allows file transfers up to 400 Mbps. Also for extensive datasets, the automated submission pipeline is available. It uses XML for metadata and Sequence Read Format (SRF) as a common container file format.
All biological sequence data from all next gen sequencing platforms are welcomed for archiving and will serve as a community scientific resource freely available online.

Archiving next generation sequence data
For further discussion on sequence data transfer, see Richard Finney's recent post on data transfer mechanisms,which I have also appended here:
"Lot of folks use those external hard disks and fed-ex it.
This is probably the best, easiest, most brain dead way to do it.
Some people (NCBI for example) want you to use "Aspera Connect" which appears to be a proprietary "fast ftp" server/client application. Source folks have to setup an Aspera server ($) and downloader must install (free) firefox plugin or command line tool.
Someday we'll laugh at the hoops we had to go through to share this data, but today it's a hassle."
