There are approximately 20,000 genes in the human genome. These genes, in turn, code for hundreds of thousands of proteins. Ultimately, that means that there are literally trillions of possible interactions among genes and proteins within cells. There, in essence, is one of the key problems of current bioscience research: we don't have too little information, but way too much. Or at least, more than we can effectively use to answer critical questions about biology, pathophysiology, the etiology of disease, and the effectiveness of therapies.
But in reality, the sheer magnitude of the data sets is not the heart of the matter. It's what researchers need to do with those ...
