Doctors in London have stored 1,600 beating human hearts in digital form on a computer.
The aim is to develop new treatments by comparing the detailed information on the hearts and the patients' genes.
It is the latest project to make use of advances in storing large amounts of information.
The study is among a wave of new "big data" ventures that are transforming the way in which research is carried out.
