Pharmacogenomics.
The completion of the Human Genome Project is expected by the year 2003. This mapping of standard human gene sequences and common variants will provide a reference database. This information will also provide new areas of research and study. An example of this is pharmacogenomics, an area of research and development that studies the genetically influenced response to pharmacologic agents.
