[Geuvadis_rnaseq] Geuvadis pilot data release

Dear all, As you probably know, the Geuvadis pilot data (5 CEU individuals, RNAseq in 7 labs) is stored in EBI. The release date of these data is approaching, so we need to decide *whether we let the pilot data go public or ask for an extension*. Last spring it was decided that publishing a paper of the pilot data is not worth the effort, and at the moment the data has a release deadline at the end of this year. Our suggestion is that we release the data - what's your opinion on this? We can also ask for an extension e.g. until the main paper is out, but from our part we don't see any problem releasing the data now since we have no use for it. Philip and Matthias, would you need to keep e.g. the Solid data private because of the strand-specific project? I don't have access to the data submitted by the other labs, so EBI will be in touch with the owners of these data if any changes in the release date are needed.
