Abstract:
It is now rare to find biological, or genetic investigations that do not rely on the tools, data, and thinking drawn from the genomic sciences. Much of this revolution is powered by contemporary sequencing approaches that readily deliver large, genome-wide data sets that not only provide genetic insights but also uniquely report molecular outcomes from experiments that biophysicists are increasingly using for potentiating structural and mechanistic investigations. In this perspective, I describe a path of how biophysical thinking greatly contributed to this revolution in ways that parallel advancements in computer science through discussion of several key inventions, described as "foundational devices." These discussions also point at the future of how biophysics and the genomic sciences may become more finely integrated for empowering new measurement paradigms for biological investigations.
