Synapse is a third-party collaborative platform where interim through final work products can be shared, interactions may be supported by discussion threads, wikis provide base information and other functions (e.g., annotations, tables, timelines, literature etc.). The intent is to increase information exchanges within the data science cycle.
Synapse is the BMGF chosen platform for supporting collaborations centered around shared data sets with a goal of making research more transparent, reproducible, and accessible to a broader audience. Specifically, we use Synapse to organize data, capture sprint findings, present analyses, and facilitate discussions related to Ki rallies with distributed team members.
