In the introduction to his Spalt und Fuge, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger points to the possibility that we are currently experiencing a new turning point regarding forms of experimentation, which is characterized by the growing importance of high-throughput methods and big data analytics. This essay will explore the thesis that data-intensive research indeed constitutes a form of post-experimental research by interrogating research practices in precision medicine. Section 1 will introduce this thesis and highlight salient features of precision medicine as an example of post-experimental research. Section 2 suggests approach as a category that is broader than experimental system, as discussed by Rheinberger, and can serve to analyze and compare diverse forms of research, including experimental and post-experimental practices. The essay concludes with a reflection on how categories developed for the historiography of recent science might require an update when the science or its context changes (section 3).

后实验科学方法。精准医学案例**

在介绍他的Spalt und Fuge时，Hans-Jörg Rheinberger 指出，我们目前可能正在经历一个关于实验形式的新转折点，其特点是高通量方法和大数据分析的重要性日益增加。本文将通过询问精准医学的研究实践，探讨数据密集型研究确实构成了一种后实验研究形式的论点。第 1 节将介绍本论文并突出精准医学的显着特点，作为后实验研究的一个例子。第 2 节建议将方法作为比实验系统更广泛的类别，正如 Rheinberger 所讨论的，可以用来分析和比较各种形式的研究，包括实验和实验后的实践。本文最后反思了当科学或其背景发生变化时，为近代科学史学发展的类别如何可能需要更新（第 3 节）。
