Like most areas of research, biology is being revolutionized by computers. Massively parallel technologies can now routinely sequence the entire human genome with its over three billion nucleotides. Such huge amounts of data are unusable without highly advanced computational tools and their ability to organize, search and analyze. As part of this bioinformatics revolution, we propose several projects essential in keeping pace with the technological developments and in sustaining the speed of advances in biological research.

像大多数研究领域一样，计算机正在给生物学带来革命性的变化。大规模并行技术现在可以常规地对整个人类基因组进行超过30亿个核苷酸的测序。如果没有高度先进的计算工具及其组织、搜索和分析的能力，如此庞大的数据是无法使用的。作为这场生物信息学革命的一部分，我们提出了几个项目，以跟上技术发展的步伐，并保持生物研究的进步速度。
