Globus services are used in the Human Organ Atlas data portal to provide reliable and efficient downloading of large imaging datasets. This enables researchers worldwide to access multiscale organ imaging files—many of which are hundreds of gigabytes or even terabytes in size—with speed and security, overcoming the challenges of typical web browser downloads. For users with limited computational resources, the HOA also offers downsampled and compressed versions for easier access.
