Big Data Can Help Advance Personalized Medicine

The genome is three billion basis, three double that because you have one copy of our father and one copies of our mother. This is all big data. I often argue with people about what big data means, but I lost the arithmetic there. So certainly we can say genomics fall into this realm. Maybe they're the best example of it. It's not only sequencing the genome permutation. There is also understanding the epigenome which is information laid upon on top of the genome to modulate or modify how the actual gene is going to be expressed.
