The DNA of a nation - http://rdcu.be/dTla
The United Kingdom aims to sequence 100,000 human genomes by 2017. But screening them for disease-causing variants will require innovative software [and great data management].
"...The NHS already holds extensive clinical information on individuals, and pairing this with detailed genomic data will enable powerful insights into the links between medicine and genetics. Evidence that whole-genome interpretation can help in a wide range of disorders is mounting2, and in the long term, Bell says, the goal is to make whole genomes part of regular NHS health records."
