Abstract
With over a decade since the completion of the human genome project – described as one of humanity’s greatest feat of the century; more certain are we of the utility of evolving data types to understanding disease aetiologies and effecting better healthcare. In addition to this project, subsequently embarked large-scale biomolecule profiling projects such as the Haplotype Map (HapMap), the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE), the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and recently, the Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) with attending high throughput technologies without a doubt present us a flood of information to glean knowledge. Concurrently, to name a few, is the evolution of electronic medical records, mobile health devices, and advanced data capture medical devices. As never before, we are swamped with a wealth of data. Herein, is presented a brief overview of the evolving hyper- information terrain, my personal research experiences within this landscape, and some projections of the future with respect to the common goal of a better biomedical understanding of disease causations and healthcare delivery.
