“Researchers need to be obliged to document and manage their data with as much professionalism as they devote to their experiments.” THE BIG DATA ERA • Importance of data: • Retrieval • Integration • Analysis Nature journal Issue of 4 2008 An at least basic knowledge of bioinformatic methods in unavoidable also for experimental researchers Bioinformatics from basic methods for managing biosequences to systems biology models
With advances in technologies, investigators are increasinglygenerating and using large, complex, and diverse datasets. Consequently, the biomedicalresearchenterpriseisincreasinglybecoming data-intensive and data-driven. However, the ability of researchers to locate, analyze, and use Big Data (and more generallyallbiomedical and behavioral data) isoftenlimited for reasonsrelated to access to relevant software and tools, expertise, and otherfactors. D2K aims to develop the new approaches, standards, methods, tools, software, and competenciesthatwillenhance the use of biomedical Big Data by supportingresearch, implementation, and training in data science and otherrelevantfields. NIH BIG DATA to Knowledge (BD2K)

You can close the account, wipe the slate clean and start over. You cannot change or revoke your DNA once it’s leaked,” says Gene Tsudik – UCI – GenoDroid project. • CHALLENGES: • do you have something more “private” than your DNA? • consumers fear losing insurance coverage if results are shared, companies don’t want to reveal proprietary information about customized treatments
