We are evolutionary descendents of this marvellous panoply of life. And what that says unequivocally is we have an utter total obligation to make sure we have an environment that not only is good for us but is good for all living organisms.

Data-intensive graph problems abound in the Life Science drug discovery and development process.

We don't argue if drug companies create drugs that can cure humans and charge lots of money for them, even though we all have these diseases. It will be pretty hard to make a different argument for genes.

All of the details that most of us memorize in medical school - you don't have to learn those things. They're going to be in your computer.

An important finding is that by determining the genome sequences of an entire family, one can identify many DNA sequencing errors and thus greatly increase the accuracy of the data. This will ultimately help us understand the role of genetic variations in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.

The problem that we, as living organisms, face - and not we only, humans, but any living organism faces - is the management of life.
