When a working map of the human genome was announced in June 2000, it was immediately clear that it would open new avenues of study and transform the life sciences, both in academia and in industry. One of the many new opportunities was in bioinformatics: the use of computers to rapidly scan databases, analyze sequence data, and help predict protein structure based on DNA sequence. Companies and universities would be eager to purchase bioinformatics tools to help them manage the massive amounts of genomics and proteomics data they would be generating.
