Genome research will certainly be one of the most important and
exciting sci- tific disciplines of the 21st century. Deciphering
the structure of the human genome, as well as that of several model
organisms, is the key to our understanding how genes fu- tion in
health and disease. With the combined development of
innovativetools, resources, scientific know-how, and an overall
functional genomic strategy, the origins of human and other
organisms'geneticdiseases can be traced. Scientificresearch groups
and dev- opmental departments of several major pharmaceutical and
biotechnological companies are using new, innovative strategies to
unravel how genes function, elucidating the gene protein product,
understanding how genes interact with others-both in health and in
the disease state. Presently, the impact of the applications of
genome research on our society in medicine, agriculture and
nutrition will be comparable only to that of communication
technologies. In fact, computational methods, including networking,
have been playing a substantial role even in genomics and
proteomics from the beginning. We can observe, however, a
fundamental change of the paradigm in life sciences these days:
research focused until now mostly on the study of single processes
related to a few genes or gene products, but due to technical
developments of the last years we can now potentially identify and
analyze all genes and gene products of an organism and clarify
their role in the network of lifeprocesses.
