Gene42’s story began when a group of computational biology researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children set out to develop new computer-based methods for linking phenotypes (physical symptoms) to genotypes (genetic characteristics). They began by gathering patient records from the hospital containing each patient’s phenotypic descriptions and corresponding genotypic profile. Then, they got to work finding ways to extract phenotype-genotype relationships that were common among patients.
