      That depends on the biologists who gathered them not me. There are online databases you can store them for other people to use them but there are also some people who do not want to share them and keep them to themselves. Theoretically we might analyze a dataset today and find nothing but if technology improves and different methods are discovered we can re-use the same dataset in the future and find something important! We don’t really throw away data for that reason.
