"For all the "brave new world" rhetoric surrounding the recent rapid advances in genetics, scientists are only on the threshold of understanding how genes work and their role in health and disease.
So too are the DNA dot-coms in their search for success. By combining strains of Wall Street's two favorite industries of the moment – biotech and the Internet – online genomics companies have reaped valuations last seen by Net companies circa 1999. "You take the two great buzzwords, 'genome' and 'Internet,' put them together and someone will throw money at them..."
"But the rush to go public has made the DNA dot-coms vulnerable to the volatility that seems to strike biotech and Net startups particularly hard. "
Chemical & Engineering News Bioinformatics for the Masses
"As computing and biology have converged, software tools for data capture, management, analysis, mining, and dissemination have emerged. More than 40 companies, most of them small, are trying to capitalize on the development and marketing of new bioinformatics tools. Whereas the market for generated data or "content" is very lucrative, bioinformatics sales are expected to reach about $160 million this year, according to market research firm Frost & Sullivan""Who I really want as customers are the scientists themselves," says John Couch, chief executive officer of DoubleTwist , Oakland, Calif. "We're challenged in this field to deliver something to the scientists so that they can do their science."

“Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.”
