Mining the human genome for new health therapies.
The completion of the Human Genome Project heralds advances in determining the foundations of disease and in developing new therapeutic treatments. Tests already exist for the detection of some genetic abnormalities that can cause disease, and more are being developed. In the future, pharmacogenetics will be used to tailor treatment to specific patients.
