The advent of systems biology as a comprehensive science has led to recent developments in highthroughput technology to achieve more accurate simulation of complex diseases. Many expect the advent in the near future of personalised medicine. We are however, transitioning to a two-tiered personalised medicine from two-tiered health systems. Personalized medicine can be generally defined as a predictive, personalised, preventative and participatory healthcare model. The bioinformatics field will be inundated with individual genomic data in the coming years. This data flood poses critical issues that need to be addressed by the bioinformatics community.
