Bio-IT World | Popular opinion is that two big shifts have changed the game for bioinformatics. The first is single cell ‘omics, the other is a more recent move to a new model of drug discovery that looks to leverage the vast amounts of human genetic data now being generated in support of precision medicine. But to achieve datasets with the 100,000s of patients and treatment conditions that are needed for statistical power in pharma R&D and precision medicine, IT tools to manage billions of cells are essential.
