The Critical Need for Computational Intelligence in Human Genetics

My essay on "The Critical Need for Computational Intelligence in Human Genetics" has been published as a Hot Topics piece in Computing Reviews. You can find the essay here. The purpose of this essay is to communicate to computer scientists the computational challenges facing geneticists with the goal of inspiring some of them to help tackle these problems.
