Dr Hood suggests that signal-to-noise in biological measurements is so bad that we must use 1) Statisics 2) a deep understanding of the pathways and 3) data integration; to make any progress. All of his data is shown as networks – perfectly aligned with the large-scale linked data approach Indigo uses. Hood said: “Medicine is becoming an information science.” If that’s true, new approaches to informatics and IT will be essential.
