We need biologists to
navigate our genomes
Biologists need to
interact with data in

their colleagues,
analysing them in
multiple analysis tools
using different formats

them without programming skills
• Data is huge
• Data are scattered, not
standardised
• The lack of organisation is
a barrier to collaboration
