More genetics than genomics, but a cool introduction [1]!

There's a lot of subtlety in genomics analysis, and learning about all of it is a deep dive into chemistry, biology, and statistics, as well as a lot of literature search.

One fun fact about this is that most of the data in genomics is some form of a plain text table. As this makes interoperability between different programs easier. Many people have tried to make this more efficient, but their application is usually only limited to very specific use cases.

Yes, this is a deep subject and "Genetics" is indeed the correct term. Our company is called "Genomics" because of the origins of the founders in the Oxford stats department and Big Data Institute.

Both Gil and Peter have done some incredible things in this space, but the language of scientists can be difficult to understand by a lay audience.
