output: Once upon a time, probably when the Genome Project was first envisioned, we thought it was all in our genes - if we just understood the gene sequences, we would understand all of human biology. Now we know that genes are maybe less than a third of all the functional parts of the human genome. There are all these non-coding sequences that are so functionally important and it turns out a lot of those contain variants that are conferring risks for common genetic diseases. We barely have our heads around that, and then you hint that it's not all about the A's, G's, T's and C's because we now know that there's all this epigenomics going on where DNA is being decorated with different chemical groups and that has a language in itself and that language can be changed an altered in disease. And then if you get away from DNA, then there is environmental contributions as well. Those are important. All of this is being studied, but technologies are available for some more than others. And so we are strong right now. Our technologies for studying DNA, including for epigenomics, where we are hoping to get better technologies, where we will be able to monitor the environment and being able to punderstand exposures - all these things are being pursued. They all need to come together to really take full advantage of what could possibly happen in genomics and human genetics with these new opportunities that we see before us.
