These computational methods are very powerful, but this time around they may have been too conservative.

First, the necessary data analysis will be a daunting task, requiring new computational methods.

ECONOMIST: An un-killer app

Between them, they have developed computational methods to crunch the numbers involved in quantum theory in ways that allow chemists to make sense of the behaviour of atoms as they bond together to form molecules.

Instead of relying only on the literature, we can and should develop and utilize computational methods to reverse engineer disease pathways from observational data, followed by simulated therapeutic interventions that will guide real treatments (see Figure 1 here).
