Genomics and Bioinformatics

Next-generation sequencing and other high-throughput technologies are revolutionising how we address fundamental biological questions ranging from development to evolution to disease. Because of the unprecedented amounts of data made available by these technologies, we can begin to address biological questions in their entirety. Answering these questions is a highly interdisciplinary endeavour that necessitates the expertise of biologists, statisticians, computer scientists, and bioinformaticians.
