Data mining, the extraction of hidden predictive information from large databases. Data mining is becoming an increasingly important tool to transform this data into information. It is commonly used in a wide range of profiling practices, such as...

23andMe’s mission is to help people access, understand, and benefit from the human genome. We are a group of passionate individuals excited to push the boundaries of what’s possible to help turn genetic insight into better health and personal...

Genomics is the study of the genomes of organisms. The field includes intensive efforts to determine the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic mapping efforts. The field also includes studies of intragenomic phenomena such as...

www.sanger.ac.uk - PAGIT addresses the need for software to generate high quality draft genomes. It is based on a series of programs that we developed: ABACAS, that is able to contiguate contigs from a de novo assembly against a closely related reference. IMAGE, an...

www.bx.psu.edu - We describe a new method for predicting the ancestral order and orientation of those intervals from their observed adjacencies in modern species. We combine the results from this method with data from chromosome painting experiments to produce a map...

Two animated case scenarios set now and in the future. These highlight potential differences in the way patients are treated now, and how they might be treated as healthcare becomes more tailored.
