“You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.”
~ Daniel K. Moran
Good data is central to building useful models. Because our group focuses on building computational models of real-world systems, we depend on having data. Here we share datasets that we have found, collected, or generated.

N-gram lists are available from both Google and Microsoft.

Biological Data
