Genomics: A Revolution Like No Other

Genomics is a rapidly growing field of science that has revolutionized the way we understand biology. Ongoing research in genomics will potentially provide solutions for key challenges we are facing today Why does a medication effectively “cure” one patient while having little or no effect, or worse effect on another? How to personalize treatment options? Can we stop climate change? How can we sustainably feed the growing world population? Genomics is leading to some of the most exciting and world-changing discoveries in science and medicine like:

  1. Predicting Disease Risk: In the 15 years since sequencing the first human genome, medicine has been quick to put its learnings into action. Genomics can detect diseases long before symptoms present themselves. Early diagnosis of a disease can significantly increase the chances of successful treatments like cancer, diabetes, autism, etc. When symptoms do develop, genomics can be instrumental in diagnosing the problem.
  2. Personalized Treatments: Precision medicine, now called personalized medicine, has long been the Holy Grail in health care. But getting to the level of precision we wanted wasn’t possible until now. What’s changed is our ability to sequence the human genome.” In April 2003, the Human Genome Project announced that it had sequenced around 20,000 genes of those that make up the blueprint of our bodies. For 15 years, this medical breakthrough has been informing and transforming health care. Genomics, the study of genes, is making it possible to predict, diagnose, and treat diseases more precisely and personally than ever.
  3. Drug Development: Genomics, particularly high‐throughput sequencing links genetic variants with diseases. NGS can be applied at any stage of drug development. Early applications have focused on the oncology and infectious disease therapeutic areas, with emerging uses in biopharmaceutical development and vaccine production.
  4. Microbial Genomics: Analysis of microbial genomes provides insights into microbial evolution. This is a powerful tool for identifying new applications for biotechnology including creating improved vaccines, alternative biofuels, environmental cleanup techniques, etc.
  5. Agriculture: Genomic data helps to create desirable traits for sustainable productivity with enhanced yield. From sequencing reference genomes to genotyping for genome-wide association studies to genomic prediction, advances in technology and applications have led to breakthroughs in crop improvement. Agriculturally desirable traits, including high yield, stress tolerance, and pest resistance, have resulted in the selection of elite cultivars.
