Recent technological advances have revealed an enormous diversity of lifeforms by sequencing their genomes. There are now millions of available genomes, each comprised of thousands of genes. The universe of newly discovered genes is expanding far faster than our ability to study them in the laboratory. Here, I will present how high-throughput computing is unlocking the function of novel genes at an unfathomable scale.
