Bioinformatics - White Paper - Future of Medical Research
Author:
Robert V. House, M.S.P.H., Ph.D.Summary:
The enormous advances in biological technology over the past four decades have led to a profound change in how information is processed. Conceptual and technical developments in disciplines such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, immunomics, and countless other "omics" have resulted in a veritable sea of data with the potential to radically alter biomedicine. The discipline of bioinformatics has emerged to capture the information stored in living systems and help turn it into actionable technology. In this paper, the discipline, the tools, and the potential for the future are explored.
