Having worked for a bioinformatics company, I can describe my work as handling huge volumes of data. Modern instruments are ever more computerized and spit out gigs and gigs of 1s and 0s with every use. And then you have to take all that data and try to turn into something humans can understand. And every time our instruments get better the amount of data we collect goes up. Systems biology is basically a data management problem.
