Emerging Trends in Genomics

Genomics includes the study of genomes, particularly the set of techniques, analytical methods, and scientific questions related to the study of complete genomes. Scientists have progressed from the analysis of a small number of genes to the analysis of thousands of genes, from the study of the units of inheritance to the whole genome of an organism. Genomics straps the availability of complete DNA sequences for entire organisms by the latest next-generation sequencing technology. Next-generation sequencing has led to spectacular improvements in the speed, capacity and affordability of genome sequencing. Genome sequencing is expected to have the most impact in characterizing and diagnosing genetic diseases; for appropriate treatment; and providing information about an individual’s likely response to treatment to reduce adverse drug reactions. Genomics and bioinformatics are now poised to revolutionize the healthcare system by developing customized and personalized medicine.
