Systems Approaches for the Future of Biological and Biomedical Research Some thoughts…..
1982 1986 1990 1994 1998 2002 DNA sequence data: a starting point for genomics-based research First microbial genome sequence completed As of May 1, 2007: 550 published genomes 1950 ongoinggenome projects
One of the promises of genome projects, large and small, was that they would transform biology and medicine Parts list is a long way from the wiring diagrams and circuit logic needed to understand the link between genotype, environment, and phenotype
Brain architecture and function • Development and evolution • Holistic approach to the study of disease • Human microbial communities Big questions in biomedicine require a systems approach(predictive quantitative biology)
Other “-omics” approaches are required • But other “-omics” approaches are not enough • Data integration over multiple scales (time, space, etc. are essential) • Science at the interface of computing and biology The path forward
