These changes are present in both \u201clarge scale\u201d consortia science and small scale science, and across now a broad range of applications \u2013 from human health, through to agriculture and ecosystems. All of molecular life science is feeling this effect. The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) &#8211; Europe\u2019s only intergovernmental research organisation in the life sciences is at the forefront of these developments performing both excellent research and providing world leading services to enable science across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"abstract-para\">This shift in modality is creating a wealth of new opportunities and has some accompanying challenges. In particular there is a continued need for a robust information infrastructure for molecular biology. This ranges from the physical aspects of dealing with data volume through to the more statistically challenging aspects of interpreting it. A particular problem is finding causal relationships in the high level of correlative data. Genetic data are particular useful in resolving these issues. I will present how EMBL pursues this science and give examples from my own research that spans human genetics research through to partnering for clinical application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ewan Birney<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Director General of EMBL &amp;
