I’m looking for some *really big* (ideally millions of rows) biological datasets for a “Data Science in Biology” course.

Ideally they should be:

* archived with a DOI
* have an associated paper or two, with some cool questions
* be messy observational data, or collated across many studies

If you have any pointers, I’d be extremely grateful! Please boost!

@RobLanfear You might try iNaturalist. It's huge (tens of millions of entries) has a few thousand papers based on it, is really messy in a lot of ways, and your students can add their own datapoints.
