I currently work in DNA analysis and the biggest issue I have is conveying to people just "how complicated the math is". Often even I barely have a grasp of the complications of it.
When math produces data that fundamentally challenges your understanding of what's happening under the hood, you (I) really wish there were better ways to visualize what's happening, even if only to verify that it's happening correctly.
It gets hard to do that when your dataset for a single sample is hundreds of megabytes; it becomes difficult to aggregate the visualizations across hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of specific samples.
