How to load a private genome into CoGe?

Disclaimer

To perform the advanced genomic analyses with CoGe, you need to have your genome added to the system. We are working to make this entire process automated so that any user can add a genome without needing to contact anyone in the CoGe project, but currently the genomes must be added by hand. We prefer to use iPlant's Data Store to transfer your personal data to CoGe because the Data Store is relatively easy to use (like dropbox), has a lot of free storage for scientists, and is very fast. Until the upload to CoGe has been automated, a project member will add your data to the CoGe system while keeping it accesible only to you. Keep in mind that, once generated, the Data Store web link can be used by anyone who has the URL. For this reason, please un-share or delete the file as soon as you receive notification from the CoGe project that your data has been received.
