Biology is Special
For it is in relation to the statistical point of viewthat the structure of the vital parts of livingorganisms differs so entirely from that of anypiece of matter that we physicists and chemistshave ever handled in our laboratories ormentally at our writing desks.

Genetics as Code
[The] chromosomes ... contain in some kind of code-script the entire pattern of the individual's futuredevelopment and of its functioning in the mature state.... [By] code-script we mean that the all-penetratingmind, once conceived by Laplace, to which everycausal connection lay immediately open, could tellfrom their structure whether [an egg carrying them]would develop, under suitable conditions, into a blackcock or into a speckled hen, into a fly or a maize plant,a rhodo-dendron, a beetle, a mouse, or a woman.

Infrastructure and the HGP
Progress towards all of the [Genome Project]goals will require the establishment of well-funded centralized facilities, including a stockcenter for the cloned DNA fragmentsgenerated in the mapping and sequencingeffort and a data center for the computer-basedcollection and distribution of large amounts ofDNA sequence information.

Paradigm Shift in Biology
The new paradigm, now emerging, is that all the‘genes’ will be known (in the sense of beingresident in databases available electronically),and that the starting point of a biologicalinvestigation will be theoretical. An individualscientist will begin with a theoretical conjecture,only then turning to experiment to follow or testthat hypothesis.

Paradigm Shift in Biology
To use [the] flood of knowledge, which will pouracross the computer networks of the world,biologists not only must become computerliterate, but also change their approach to theproblem of understanding life.

Human Resources Issues
• Reduction in need for non-IT staff
• Increase in need for IT staff, especially“information engineers”
In modern biology, a general trend is toconvert expert work into staff work andfinally into computation. New expertise isrequired to design, carry out, and interpretcontinuing work.

Fundamental Dogma
The fundamental dogma ofmolecular biology is that genes act tocreate phenotypes through a flow ofinformation from DNA to RNA toproteins, to interactions amongproteins, and ultimately tophenotypes.
Collections of individual phenotypes,of course, constitute a population.

Instead, funding decisions forbiological databases can follow aponderously slow course, withalmost no opportunity for input fromreal users.
Those most knowledgeable about aparticular database are oftenexcluded from participating in thereview process because of a possible“conflict of interest” status with thedatabase provider.

Alternatives (if no solution emerges):• increasingly inefficient research activities (abject
failure will occur when it becomes easier to redoresearch than to obtain the results of prior work).
