One such notable effort is named Open Science Data Cloud (OSDC), which has several datasets on each subject. This list, compiled from various open data sources, is available. They also host data on their web portal (https://www.opensciencedatacloud.org/publicdata/). A subject-wise list of selected datasets from OSDC is as follows:

    • The U.S. Department of Agriculture's plants database

  • Biology:

    • 1,000 genomes

    • Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO)

    • MIT cancer genomics data
