A new assessment from computational biologists and computer scientists at the University of Illinois and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory found that genomics is poised to be a leader in data acquisition, storage, distribution and analysis. The team’s assessment is published in the journal PLOS Biology."As genome-sequencing technologies improve and costs drop, we are expecting an explosion of genome sequencing that will cause a huge flood of data," said Gene Robinson, a professor of entomology and the director of the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology at Illinois.
