Once upon a time, biology was a discipline within natural history. Natural historians began with crude anatomy and taxonomy, looking for similarities and differences between plants and animals. Then, it went through glittering scientists like Robert Hooke, Darwin, and Mendel, ultimately becoming modern biology that is based on cytology and genetics.0

However, twenty-first-century biology was about to undergo another major transformation.0

“There’s been a movement towards the BIT industry for a while. However, it hasn’t been easy to achieve because biology is so complex that it’s hard to quantify and make it into a diagram,” Young-Joon said.1

BIT: it was a fusion of biology (B) and information technology (IT), a discipline called bioinformatics. The genomic data of a single human was about seven hundred thirty megabytes, calculated when each base was represented as about two bytes. If the three billion bases of genomic data was written down in a notepad, it would amount to seven hundred thirty megabytes.2

However, experimental data from a genome...1
