Genome sequence data are enabling clinical genomic investigation, in which the
characteristics of human patients are explored using comprehensive inventories of
biomolecules. Successful investigators must navigate rapid technological change, collect
and analyse large volumes of data, and engage systems of clinical care. Such projects will
increasingly rely on fully integrated multidisciplinary teams, demanding new organizational
models in academic biomedical research.
