> I don’t think the promise of genomics is even possible
It is possible, but building a whole-organism model requires huge amounts of data for each individual, which isn’t economically feasible at the moment. The 1000$ genome is there, but we need to bring it down to 10$ or less.
That is one of the reasons why modern bioinformatics is relying on mechanistic statistical models so much. You have to be incredibly smart with your models since there’s so few samples to work with.
