This is a concise introduction to current philosophical debates about truth. Combining philosophical and technical material, the book is organized around, but not limited to, the view known as deflationism.

Despite their scientific success, GWA studies have been criticized for having failed so far in delivering diagnostically or therapeutically relevant products. However, the ability to achieve such goals has been strengthened recently by further layers of OMICs-based data, including large-scale transcriptomics data, and better annotation of regu...
