Integrating multiple data types can be substantially more informative than analysing data sets separately, and methods to combine data sets are now emerging. This Review outlines the current approaches for data integration and the various strengths and weaknesses of these strategies. The analytical challenges that emerge with data sets of this magnitude are also described, and the authors provide their perspective on how such systems genomic analyses might develop in the future.
