When Chinese scientists posted the genetic blueprint of a deadly new coronavirus online last month, Dmitry Korkin jumped at the opportunity to fight the epidemic. The computational biologist hunkered down with a team of graduate students in his laboratory at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts.

They slept just a couple of hours a night while they constructed a three-dimensional model of the new virus and analyzed its proteins for clues about what drugs or vaccines might work against it—a process that normally can take months. “I would have meetings at 3 a.m. with my research group,” Dr. Korkin said.

Are data more like oil or sunlight?Like oil, data must be refined to be useful—but like sunlight, data will be everywhere Oil and Data are not similar. The approach towards extracting and converting oil to energy is more complicated and involves multiple mindsets. Big Data recently has been a competitive difference but the fundamentals reign.
