Today's Guardian has a very small item about this, which it describes as a "Medical Google" and the "human connectivity map". It refers to an article in Science, and I suspect it is this:

This is the "Connectivity Map", a reference collection of gene expression profiles. The profiles come from cells treated with various small molecules, and it is hoped that the Map will aid the discovery of connections between diseases, physiological processes and the actions of drugs.
