  The genomics company must service both short-term needs—for cash, guaranteed future funding, and credibility—along long-term needs in the post-genomics era.

  The buzzword right now is ‘post-genomics’, says Searls—that is, what do you do once you have the sequences of all the human genes? “I think a lot of post-genomics will have to do with understanding networks, pathways and cascades, signal transduction, metabolism and genetic regulation. So there are all sorts of computational and mathematical issues to be resolved and to be brought to bear on these problems,” he says.
