Researchers Use Emerging Technology To Study Human Genome

From InformationWeek:

"Pharmaceutical and medical researchers are using emerging technologies such as complex pattern-recognition algorithms to tap into new and evolving findings about the human genome as they develop new diagnostic tests and treatments that target the molecular profiles of different patient populations. Eventually, health care will evolve 'from episodic treatments to presymptom treatment,' to provide wellness and preventative care for people who have a high genetic propensity or other high-risk factors for developing a particular illness, predicts Mike Svinte, IBM's VP of information-based medicine.
