Publish or perish is gone. The NIH is no longer the funding source of choice, now it is pharma or private donors. These people want large impressive datasets, not publications. You can rent out data to pharma without having to publish anything. These don't even have to be useful datasets, mere size is enough to make them valuable to greedy prospectors with lots of cash. Then they can plumb them for bunk results ad infinitum.
