'Ome on the range

摘要

The Integrated Bioinformatics: High-Throughput Interpretation of Pathways and Biology conference was Held at Zurich, 24-26 January 2001. It is a platitude following the joint Publication of the sequence of the human Genome, to say that we are at the Beginning rather than the end of Understanding mechanistic biology. The Exponential accumulation of sequence Information both from humans and from Lower order species is just the tip of the Data iceberg. Cataloguing the vast Amount of polymorphism within the Genome, at least in humans, is well Under way by the single nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) consortium.
