Since James D. Watson and Francis Crick uncovered DNA’s structure in 1953, a massive amount of available genetic data has been identified, and novel forms of scientific organization and modes of working have emerged. As a result, genetics has brought science to the brink of a new era of enlightenment, in which individuals are understood in terms of the relationships among their unique genomic data.
如今，遗传学是最重要的科学承诺。自沃森和克里克于1953年发现DNA结构以来，人们识别了大量的遗传学数据，涌现了超乎想象的科学组织形式和工作模式。遗传学也因此把科学带向了新启蒙时代的门槛上，在新时代，个体将以其独一无二的基因组数据关系的形式被理解。
