The sequencing of the human genome offered a glimpse of future medical practices, where information retrieved from the genome could be harnessed to inform treatment decisions. However, making DNA sequencing accessible enough for widespread use poses a number of challenges. This perspective article traces the progress made in the field so far and looks at how close we may be already to real-life applications.
人类基因组测序让人们对未来的医疗实践有了初步了解,通过从基因组中获取的信息,可以为治疗决策提供参考。然而,要让 DNA 测序变得足够普及以供广泛使用,还面临着许多挑战。本文从该视角出发,追溯了这一领域迄今为止的进展,并探讨了我们在实现实际应用方面可能已经取得的进展。
