Today, sequencing technology has markedly reduced the cost and time needed to read the human genome than ever before. Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified a number of disease risk genes.
Recent advancements in genomic technology have substantially furthered our understanding of the pathophysiology of many diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Accumulating genomic information is now expected to accelerate the discovery of novel drugs. Rapidly growing multi-dimensional information in life sciences would make human genetics significantly important in the near future.
如今,测序技术已显著降低了读取人类基因组所需的成本和时间,比以往任何时候都要低。全基因组关联研究已成功识别出一些疾病风险基因。
基因组技术的最新进展极大地推动了我们对许多疾病(如类风湿性关节炎)病理生理学的理解。
目前,积累的基因组信息有望加速新型药物的发现。生命科学中快速增长的多维度信息将使人类遗传学在不久的将来变得极为重要。
