 |  | Epilogue
The explosion of information coming from the sequencing of genomes has changed the landscape of biology. We now have tools to better understand the basis of disease and its prevention and control. These tools also allow us to design more effective drugs, and even understand the genetic relationships among all living things that make the universal tree of life. Acquiring the sequence was only the beginning.
