What is the real value of omics data? Enhancing research outcomes and securing long-term data excellence.

ABSTRACT: A wealth of high-throughput biological data, of which omics constitute a significant fraction, has been made publicly available in repositories over the past decades. These data come in various formats and cover a range of species and research areas providing insights into the complexities of biological systems; the public repositories hosting these data serve as multifaceted resources. The potentially greater value of these data lies in their secondary utilization as the deployment of data science and artificial intelligence in biology advances. Here, we critically evaluate challenges in secondary data use, focusing on omics data of human embryonic kidney cell lines available in public repositories. The emerging issues are obstacles faced by secondary data users across diverse domains as
