The 'Omics Age

The sequencing of the human genome has changed how we do genetics. Instead of examining one gene at a time, we now look at the genetic variation across the entire genome. We can examine how transcription changes at a global level in different cell types, or under different conditions. How do these methods that examine differences in "global" transcriptional, translational and epigenetic phenomena affect how we think about human genetics?
