From the Vault: 
PROTEIN PATTERNS, 1961

When this vintage ad ran in the early 60s, “DNA’ was on the tip of every biochemists’ tongue. They were all abuzz about its relationship with cell proteins and their molecular chains and patterns. Using a computer, pioneering IBMers in math and biochemistry began applying mathematical logic to huge amounts of data to piece together the sequence of atoms in the protein chain. It was Big Data analysis before it was BIG.

With word that Bell Labs is being turned into a mall, I’m glad IBM is still going strong. Plus, who knew Big Data was such an old term.
