Had the pleasure of putting this survey paper together alongside Camille Scott and Luiz Irber for Raissa D’Souza’s Network Theory class in Spring 2016. It’s about the network theoretic aspects and applications of genomic data, with a bit of a history lesson tied in. The data used constituted all invertebrate and mammalian genomes available on NCBI, a whopping 84 GB. Luckily my co-authors had access to “supercomputers”. Please don’t be intimidated by the wall of text; I started this project with zero knowledge of genomics (thanks Camille and Luiz!) and co-wrote with a similar audience in mind. All of the graphics are by Ms. Scott.
