This paper presents some reflections of the author, bounded from the point of view of the philosophy of technology, in relation to the role played by computer science in current research in human genetics. The initial question, which arises as a structuring framework is the following: Can a relationship be derived between the philosophy of technology and new research in the field of computational genomics? Topics such as the notions about computer ethics raised by Mitcham and Zimmerli are discussed, as well as the bioethical questioning posed by genetic responsibility.
