“the once-hypothetical medical benefits of individual genome sequencing are beginning to be realized in the clinic.” F S Collins Science 2011;331: ….in fact, it's one of the many reasons that NIH plans to create a National Center for Advancing Translational and Therapeutic Sciences
“If I could move the clock back to 2001 and change course, I would invest significantly more in developing large clinical resources with detailed, individual clinical histories, deep phenotyping, and longitudinal follow-up in order to better understand outcomes and treatment responses” Tom Hudson, Science 2011;331:547
