Notes on genomics internet research

Some Videos:
Barry Schuler: An introduction to genomics - http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks /barry_schuler_genomics_101.html

Juan Enriquez: Decoding the future with genomic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KdOPY1Iqiw
"A single genomics company outputs more data in a single month than is held in the US Library of Congress"

Craig Venter: A voyage of DNA, genes and the sea - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5X6Qy772YU

One thing that is really interesting about the first two videos is the analogy to computers that both Schuler and Enriquez use to explain the DNA involvement in genomics. Schuler takes it one step further to say that modifying the software also modifies the hardware. I find this concept very intriguing and confirms my interest in this field. I'm very excited that I have changed my undergrad major and plan on going into bioinformatics.
