The Promise of BIG DATA in Genetics Research
Scientists doing genetics research have collected millions of data points ("big data") that could be of use to other scientists. However, different software systems and measurement formats have made sharing data sets difficult. NIH has created the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) program to support the research and development of innovative and transformative approaches and tools to help scientists use big data and data science in their research (https://commonfund.nih.gov/bd2k). When the data can be combined and harmonized, a process called data integration, the chances of identifying new genetic information that could give rise to new disease insights is amplified.
