The Butte laboratory builds and applies tools that convert more than 300 billion points of molecular, clinical, and epidemiological data that have been measured by researchers and clinicians over the past decade into diagnostics, therapeutics, and new insights into disease. To facilitate this method, the Butte laboratory has developed tools to automatically index and find genomic datasets based on the phenotypic and contextual details of each experiment to deconvolve multi-cellular samples, and to perform these calculations on the Internet cloud.
