English: A 3-D golden DNA double helix rises from an Ion Torrent DNA sequencing chip, transitioning into a Caduceus, the symbol of medicine, on a background of a computer circuit, symbolic of how bioinformatics will be driven by clinical DNA sequencing. The ion torrent chip and circuit background represent the ion torrent sequencer, but can also be taken more generally to symbolize data generation and processing ― and thus, informatics. The golden helix-Caduceus symbolizes how DNA sequencing for medicine will be the focal point of the informatics work.
